Bismack Biyombo
Bismack Biyombo Sumba (born August 28, 1992) is a Congolese professional basketball player who last played for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected seventh overall in the 2011 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings and subsequently traded to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Biyombo played four seasons for the Bobcats (rebranded to the Hornets in 2014) before signing with the Toronto Raptors in the 2015 off-season, with whom he reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2016. He then signed with the Orlando Magic in the 2016 off-season and played two seasons with the team before being traded back to the Hornets in the 2018 off-season.
After three seasons during his second stint in Charlotte, Biyombo signed with the Phoenix Suns in January 2022 and spent two seasons with the team. He then played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2023–24 season before joining the Spurs in February 2025. With San Antonio, he reached the 2026 NBA Finals.
Biyombo was born in Lubumbashi, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), to parents François and Françoise Biyombo. He has three brothers named Billy, Biska and Bikim, and three sisters named Bimeline, Bikelene and Bimela.
At age 16, he played for Lupopo in the 2008 FIBA Africa Clubs Champions Cup, Africa's premier senior league at the time. That year he was discovered by coach Mário Palma at a youth tournament in Yemen. His play impressed Palma and earned him an opportunity to train in Spain.
Biyombo started the 2009–10 season with Fuenlabrada-Getafe in the Spanish fourth-tier Liga EBA before moving to CB Illescas in the Spanish third-tier LEB Plata. He started the 2010–11 season with CB Illescas before moving to Baloncesto Fuenlabrada of the first-tier Liga ACB in January 2011.
Biyombo made his debut at age 18 in the Spanish ACB League with Fuenlabrada against DKV Joventut on January 9, 2011, recording 5 points and 7 rebounds in just over 13 minutes of play. In Fuenlabrada's narrow defeat to Real Madrid, he recorded 6 points and 3 blocks, one of them against former Spanish League MVP and Spanish national team player, Felipe Reyes.
At the 2011 Nike Hoops Summit, Biyombo participated for the World Select Team (against the USA Select Team), and recorded a triple double, with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks. It was the first recorded triple-double in the Summit's history.
