This wasn’t a normal debut for new Phoenix Suns center Bismack Biyombo (pronounced bis-MOCK), and that started well before the game.
Since the passing of his father in August, Biyombo has stayed away from the game, waiting for the “right situation and opportunity.”
Just ahead of the turn to 2022, that “right situation and opportunity” came when the Suns were at the height of an internal COVID-19 outbreak that took out the team’s top two centers, a position group that was already missing two due to injury in Dario Saric and Frank Kaminsky.
ESPN Sources: The Phoenix Suns plan to sign free agent C Bismack Biyombo on a 10-day hardship deal.
