Bismack Biyombo is now an unrestricted free agent after giving his heart and soul for the Toronto Raptors throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Biyombo has made it known that he wants to return to the Raptors, even if it possibly means taking a home town discount to remain in Toronto.
Before he can play another game next season though, he must first serve a one-game suspension for a flagrant foul elbow landed to Cavaliers forward Kevin Love during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The play gave Biyombo four flagrant foul points in the playoffs, which calls for an automatic suspension. The Raptors lost the series in Game 6, so Biyombo's suspension has to be rolled over into next season.
It could be quite costly depending on how large his new contract is.
The Bismack Biyombo suspension could cost him an extra $100k in 16-17 compared to if he had been suspended this year.
