Will be available Thursday Biyombo (not injury related) is available for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Biyombo is cleared to make his Thunder debut after being claimed off waivers following the All-Star break. Before being waived by Memphis in January, Biyombo made 30 appearances and averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game. The veteran may usurp Jaylin Williams as the top backup center behind Chet Holmgren.

Will debut after All-Star break Biyombo will not be available to make his Thunder debut until after the All-Star break, Brett Dawson of Sellout Crowd reports.
Impact The big man signed with the team over the weekend but will not be available for their lone remaining contest -- Tuesday at Orlando -- before the break. When the Thunder resume play on Feb. 22 against the Clippers, Biyombo figures to fill a depth role behind Chet Holmgren. Prior to being waived in January, the veteran appeared in 30 games for the Grizzlies, posting 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game.

Not available Sunday Biyombo (not with team) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Biyombo finalized a one-year contract with the Thunder on Saturday, but he has yet to join the organization and will have to wait to make his team debut. If Biyombo is able to get in a practice with the club Monday, he could be available Tuesday in Orlando in the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break. Once he gets acclimated to his new team, Biyombo could challenge Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams for the top backup role behind starting center Chet Holmgren.

Joining Thunder Biyombo has signed a deal with the Thunder for the remainder of the season, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports
Impact The Thunder have been rumored to be looking for extra frontcourt depth for much of the season and appear to have found their solution with Biyombo. The veteran big man averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 23.9 minutes in 30 games with the Grizzlies this season before being waived in mid-January. He will now compete for minutes with the likes of Aleksej Pokusevski, Kenrich Williams and Ousmane Dieng.

Let go by Memphis The Grizzlies waived Biyombo on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Biyombo played a major role for the Grizzlies' depleted frontcourt all season, posting 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes across 30 appearances (27 starts). With Steven Adams (knee) out for the season and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) not close to a return, Xavier Tillman and Santi Aldama should get extended looks most nights, but Jaren Jackson might also spend more time at center in Biyombo's absence.

Back with starters Biyombo is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Impact Biyombo came off the bench and played 26 minutes versus the Suns on Sunday, while Xavier Tillman played just three minutes despite getting the start. Both players will likely be utilized Tuesday with Jaren Jackson (knee) sidelined.
JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies six rebounds vs. Phoenix Biyombo chipped in one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 victory over Phoenix.
Impact Biyombo was announced as a starter for Sunday's matchup, but he came off the bench as Xavier Tillman surprisingly joined the starting unit. However, Biyombo saw a relatively normal allotment of minutes, while Tillman played just three minutes. Biyombo has been a relatively limited contributor this year, averaging 4.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Back with starters Biyombo is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Lakers.
Impact Xavier Tillman replaced Biyombo in the starting five on Wednesday versus Toronto, but he had a rough showing in 23 minutes. Meanwhile, Biyombo didn't even see the floor that night. As a starter this season, Biyombo holds averages of 5.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks.
JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Retreats to bench Biyombo won't start Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact After starting in all but one of his appearances this season, Biyombo will retreat to the bench in favor of Xavier Tillman. The change shouldn't come as too large of a surprise considering has averaged 21.5 minutes per game in his last eight appearances while averaging a measly 4.3 points.
JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
Plays only eight minutes in loss Biyombo ended Friday's 117-106 loss to the Clippers with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one steal across eight minutes.
Impact The Grizzlies were outrebounded 54-33 in the loss, and a lack of interior support from Biyombo was a key factor. Jaren Jackson, Santi Aldama and Xavier Tillman also had subpar success on the glass, but Memphis will need to figure out a solution at the five if Biyombo continues his downward trend.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Held in check Thursday Biyombo racked up two points (1-4 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Biyombo hasn't scored in double figures in five appearances since returning from a one-game absence, but his production was particularly limited during Thursday's blowout loss. The 31-year-old has been an unreliable contributor this month, averaging 4.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game over 12 appearances in December.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logs 22 minutes in return Biyombo had eight points (4-5 FG), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 115-113 victory over the Pelicans.
Impact Biyombo returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to a back injury. He slid straight back into the starting unit, although failed to produce anything of note. Both he and Xavier Tillman are likely to battle for center minutes moving forward. While neither should be considered must-roster players, both should be monitored and streamed in, if and when injury befalls the other.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Pelicans Biyombo (back) is starting against the Pelicans on Tuesday.
Impact Biyombo missed Monday's game against the Thunder, but he's all set after a temporary setback. He may find life a little easier Tuesday, as the Grizzlies will be getting Ja Morant back in the lineup with his 25-game suspension over.
