Carter Bryant News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Team option picked up Saturday The Spurs exercised the team option on Bryant for the 2027-28 season, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryant, the 2025 No. 14 overall pick, appeared in 71 regular-season games as a rookie in 2025-26. He got off to a slow start, but demonstrated signs of growth by ending the year averaging 7.0 points and 1.9 assists in seven regular-season appearances in April. Bryant should be more productive in 2026-27, though the verdict is still out regarding his potential at the professional level.

Dealing with minor ankle issue Bryant exited Saturday's 102-98 preseason loss to Phoenix after rolling his right ankle in the first half and did not return, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Bryant suffered the injury after stepping on teammate Devin Vassell's foot and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. However, McDonald suggested the decision was precautionary rather than indicative of a serious injury, while coach Mitch Johnson also characterized the early exit as precautionary. The second-year forward's status for Monday's preseason matchup against Utah remains uncertain, though there is currently no indication of a prolonged absence.

The second-year forward committed four turnovers but appeared more comfortable making decisions with the ball compared to his rookie campaign. Bryant will look to build on the performance as he competes for a larger role in San Antonio's forward rotation.
