After losing center Steven Adams(knee) for the season, the Memphis Grizzlies needed some frontcourt help, and on Wednesday, they made a move.
The Grizzlies have signed center Bismack Biyombo.
According to Shams Charania, it’s a one-year, $5 million contract, with $1 million guaranteed.
Last season, the 31-year-old Biyombo averaged 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per contest in 61 games with the Suns.
A 12-year NBA veteran, Biyombo has played 799 career regular season games (324 starts) for Charlotte, Toronto, Orlando, and Phoenix and has averaged 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 19.5 minutes while shooting 53.3% from the field.
He also has appeared in 40 career playoff games (11 starts), contributing to the Raptors’ run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2016 and helping the Suns advance to the Western Conference Semifinals in each of the past two seasons.
A native of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Biyombo played two seasons professionally in the Spanish ACB League before joining the NBA.
