The Oklahoma City Thunder strengthened their depth with the free-agent addition of Bismack Biyombo. The 31-year-old was a prominent starter for the Memphis Grizzlies this season before being waived in January.
In 30 games with the Grizzlies, Biyombo averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.
Biyombo is expected to join the Thunder following the All-Star break as he gives them another option as a backup big. It’s a low-risk signing for someone who can provide spot minutes when needed off the bench.
He also provides OKC with some size, which is necessary considering how small its roster is.
