Bismack Biyambo Over Dwight Howard? Grizzlies Signing 31YO Big Man May Close All Doors For 8x All-Star?s Return to NBA

Before the preseason began, Steven Adams was down and under with a season-ending surgery. The right posterior cruciate ligament, as it is, will take at least a season to heal. With 51 successful wins last season, Memphis seems short-staffed this year. One of the foremost reasons is Ja Morant?s suspension and Steven?s injury.

With all this, the Memphis Grizzlies are suffering from a void to fill in his shoes, probably with a free-agency player. Although there are a number of prospects, Dwight Howard might have a chance to make it back to the NBA. However, with the recent NBA insider news, it doesn’t seem like it.

Bismack Biyombo Being the Perfect Fit

With the prominent certifications of a center, the Grizzlies are all over the news with the rumors of having signed Bismack Biyombo this season. With the recent revelation made by Shams Charania (The Athletics), the 31-year-old might have a chance to replace Dwight?s longing to return to the NBA.

By providing a solid production in the right role, the Journeyman Center might have a successful season with Derrick Rose and Co. After playing with the Phoenix Suns last season, he has an average of 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds. The big man might be a boon for the team’s rebounding and defense.

The $6.3 million secured after filing a disabled player exception might open a trade option for the Grizzlies as well. Well, it’s a tough spot for the team after tonight’s 106-113 loss to the Washington Wizards. With Adams having no chance to return before April 2024, the franchise has to open up a roster spot this season.

Dwight Howard: No chance for an NBA return?

Back in March 2018, Dwight scored a whopping 32 points and 30 rebounds in his 34 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets. An asset for the Charlotte Hornets back then is now hunting for a roster spot with the Grizzlies. After playing with the Taoyuan Leopards, a re-entry into the NBA would signify a “mini-opening” night for the team.

Dwight Howard poses better similarities to Steven Adams; his physical frame and aggressiveness are two of those traits. The eight-time All-Star NBA might see another season on TV with the recent events unfolding.

However, earlier in October 2023, there were speculations about Dwight signing up with the Warriors this season. With the Warriors lacking significant front-court depth, adding unnecessary depth to the center position would be illogical. With the Warriors going for Rudy Gay instead, just a bleak ray of sunlight seems to be there for Dwight.
