Bismack Biyombo comes with 12 years of experience and does the things Memphis needs the most.
On paper, it’s about as good as they can do (temporarily, at least) given the current circumstances. – 11:19 PM

More on this storyline
Morant is suspended for the first 25 games. Once he’s eligible to return, the Grizzlies will have to either part ways with Biyombo or another current rostered player. Biyombo is listed at 6-foot-8 and 255 pounds, but he plays much bigger with long arms and freakish athleticism. He has averaged at least one block per game in nine of his last 12 seasons. He played 14.3 minutes per game last season with the Suns and averaged 4.3 points and 1.4 blocks. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / October 29, 2023
