Biyombo was limited in his appearances on the floor in his fourth NBA season, but showed signs of promise when opportunities presented themselves. Despite playing the majority of the season as Al Jefferson's backup, Biyombo put together averages of 4.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 64 games played. A variety of injuries left Biyombo out of 18 games this season, but none were ever serious enough to keep him out for an extended amount of time or have lasting impacts on his future.

Biyombo is still working to refine his offensive game, which is hardly existent at this point, but defensively, Biyombo is proving to be one of the better shot blockers in the league. While his season average of 1.5 blocks per game may not jump off the paper, he did manage to record three-plus blocks in 12 games this year with a season-high of six back in November. Biyombo also proved to be an effective rebounder, posting 10-plus rebounds in 14 games this season. Biyombo was at his most effective when Jefferson was out of the lineup. In the 21 games where Jefferson was either out or coming off the bench because of injuries, Biyombo was in the starting lineup and put together averages of 6.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over 27 minutes. For Biyombo, unless the Hornets decided to extend him his qualifying offer of roughly $5.5 million, he will enter this offseason as a restricted free agent. Should Charlotte take him back, he will likely serve yet again as Jefferson's backup, as he still has not proven himself to be consistent enough to be a starting center in this league. If he wishes to prove that, a more refined offensive game must be had.

Biyombo just missed a double-double in 30 minutes Monday against the Rockets as he scored nine points (3-4 FG, 3-6 FT) to go along with 13 rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks.

Biyombo is a blocking machine as he has not only recorded at least one block in each of his last 11 games, but he had at least three blocks in seven of those games. He's not going to provide a lot on the offensive end, but his rebounding and defensive contributions should not be ignored.

Biyombo was limited to five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 29 minutes as a starter in the blowout loss to the Pistons on Sunday.

Biyombo has been a reliable rebound/block option of late, but was taken out by foul trouble against Detroit. As long as Al Jefferson (knee) remains out, the fourth-year center remains a decent fantasy option.

Biyombo posted one point, 11 rebounds, two assists, and one block in 31 minutes of action Friday against the Hawks.

Biyombo is averaging 7.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks over the last five games. He's been posting strong enough numbers to be owned in standard leagues, thanks to his block production.

Biyombo started Tuesday's loss to the Heat, playing 41 minutes and picking up a double-double with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals.

Biyombo got the start with Al Jefferson (knee) and Cody Zeller (shoulder) both out and took full advantage of the situation. In four games in April, Biyombo is averaging 10 rebounds, three blocks and 9.8 points per game.

Biyombo (nose) will start Tuesday's game against the Heat, Bleacher Report reports.

Biyombo has been fitted for a mask to protect his broken nose, but it will not be ready until Wednesday, so he will play without the mask Tuesday. With Al Jefferson (knee) out until Friday at the earliest and Cody Zeller (shoulder) out indefinitely, Biyombo is the Hornets' only true option at center. Unless he gets hit in the nose, Biyombo should play a lot of minutes Tuesday.

Biyombo (nose) will play Tuesday against the Heat.

Biyombo will be available Tuesday despite breaking his nose in Charlotte's last game Saturday. Biyombo has averaged 9.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks over 26 minutes per game through three contests this month.

Biyombo (nose) is expected to play Tuesday in Miami, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo broke his nose during Saturday's game, but after he was fitted for a protective mask, he should earn the start at center with Al Jefferson (knee) and Cody Zeller (shoulder) missing the next two contests, at least. In 15 starts this season, Biyombo is averaging 7.1 points (on 57 percent shooting), 8.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 25 minutes.

Biyombo (nose) has been fitted for a protective mask, but he'll nonetheless take the court Tuesday at Miami, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo got the nod at center Saturday due to the absences of Al Jefferson (knee) and Cody Zeller (shoulder), but in the process, he sustained a broken nose. No matter, Biyombo nearly put up a double-double -- nine points, nine boards, and three blocks in 32 minutes -- and could approach such production, if the aforementioned duo remains on the pine.

Biyombo suffered a broken nose in Saturday's win over the Sixers, and he will be questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Biyombo was getting the start at center Saturday with Al Jefferson (knee) out. Jefferson is at risk of missing the remainder of the season, and if that happens, Biyombo would be a decent pick-up for rebounds and blocks over the remaining six games, if he is healthy enough to play himself.

Biyombo will start Saturday's contest versus the Sixers.

With Al Jefferson (knee) and Cody Zeller (shoulder) sidelined, Biyombo will garner his 15th nod of the season. In the previous 14, he averaged seven points (on 55 percent shooting), 8.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 24 minutes.

Biyombo started for the injured Al Jefferson (calf) Friday and posted a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. He added one assist and one block in 22 minutes of action.

A performance like this shouldn't surprise owners anymore, as Biyombo has been a relatively consistent source of rebounds and blocks on a per-36 minutes basis. It appears he could be in line to start for at least a couple more games, so he'll be worth owning in standard leagues while Jefferson is out.

Biyombo will move into the starting lineup Friday in the absence of Al Jefferson, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Jefferson said he heard something "pop" in his calf during Wednesday's game, and he's already been ruled out for Friday's contest. Biyombo will step into the starting five and should see a significant bump in minutes. However, given his limited offensive arsenal, he remains a below-average option in most formats. Jason Maxiell will also pick up extra minutes as the primary backup.

Biyombo (knee) logged 14 minutes of action Sunday against the Magic and posted three points, three rebounds, and one block.

Biyombo has missed over a month of action due to a knee injury, and he was able to return Sunday. He's not getting enough minutes in the rotation behind Al Jefferson and Cody Zeller, and won't be a fantasy factor while they are healthy.

Biyombo (knee) will return to the court against the Magic on Sunday, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo has been sidelined since Jan. 24 with a serious knee injury but will make his long-awaited comeback Sunday. He averaged 23 minutes on the court over his last five games before the injury, although it might be a bit optimistic to think he'll see that much run against the Magic.

Biyombo (knee) will not play against the Celtics on Friday, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo should be considered day-to-day moving forward with his next opportunity to take the court coming against the Magic on Sunday.

Biyombo (knee) is unlikely to play Friday against the Celtics, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo, who hasn't played since late-January, is yet to return to practice in full, so a return for Friday's matchup with Boston seems very unlikely. Continue to consider the big man day-to-day until he's able to put in a full practice.

Biyombo (knee) has been cleared for basketball activities but is not expected to play for another three games, the Charlotte Observer reports.

If this timeline holds up, Biyombo should be considered out until at least Feb. 27 when the Hornets take on the Celtics. The 22-year-old has been of the court since Jan. 24 with a bone bruise but is apparently improving and should see time on the court relatively soon.

Biyombo (knee) will have another MRI on Saturday, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Biyombo was diagnosed with a bone bruise on his right knee at the end of January, and he's missed the Hornets' last seven games. With the MRI set for Saturday, it seems rather unlikely he'll play against the Thunder later that night, though an update should be available following the scan.

Biyombo (knee) will miss another two weeks Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports

Biyombo already figured to be out until the All-Star break, but after getting the results of an MRI it appears that he will need even more time than that to recover. Luckily for the Hornets, starting center Al Jefferson has recently returned from an injury of his own. Expect Cody Zeller to continue to play most of Biyombo's minutes behind Jefferson.
