More than 100 players have been signed to 10-day hardship deals over the past month to replace active NBA players who contracted COVID.
None of those players were Bismack Biyombo, a veteran part-time starter who stands 6’9” with a 7’6” wingspan who went unsigned this past offseason. Still just 29, you would think Biyombo would get a deal before the likes of Paris Bass or dozens of other guys who have dipped a toe into the league’s player pool the past month.
Until now, that is.
Late Friday night, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a firework on Suns fans heads with the news that the Phoenix Suns are targeting Biyombo not only for a 10-day hardship deal but possible much longer.
