Impact Bryant has recorded back-to-back games with at least six boards, and has performed in an increased role while Evan Mobley (calf) remains sidelined. In his last six games, Bryant averages 7.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 blocks across 13.5 minutes.

Scores in double figures Bryant accumulated 10 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 14 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime loss to Charlotte.

Impact Despite the return of Jarrett Allen, Bryant scored in double figures off the bench for only the second time this season. While Allen is back after a multi-game absence, the Cavaliers are expected to be without Evan Mobley (calf) for at least a few weeks, leaving the door open for Bryant to remain part of the rotation. Larry Nance (calf) also remains out indefinitely.

Plays 12 minutes in win Bryant notched six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 135-119 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Bryant is buried in the depth chart behind the likes of Jarrett Allen (finger) and Evan Mobley, but with Allen slated to miss at least a week due to injury, Bryant may see meaningful minutes on the court temporarily. Mobley will slide to the center spot, but Bryant should continue to back him up until Allen is available to return.
