Depth role continues Bryant finished Monday's 122-113 victory over Utah with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 18 minutes.

Impact Bryant continues to serve as a backup option, despite the fact that Jarrett Allen was out due to injury management. Although Bryant appears to have cemented a spot in the rotation, it is unlikely to yield enough production to warrant significant fantasy attention.

Sniffs double-double off bench Bryant provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 win over New Orleans.

Impact While Bryant did manage to score in double digits for the fourth time in his past six games, he hasn't quite been able to muster much fantasy relevance despite the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee). Over his last eight contests, Bryant has averaged 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 15.0 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Fares well off bench Bryant contributed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Magic.

Impact Bryant made the most of his minutes as Cleveland's backup center with Jarrett Allen (knee) still sidelined. He has struggled with his efficiency over his last three outings, however, shooting 34.8 percent from the field with 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 14.9 minutes per contest.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

More minutes sans Allen? Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.

Impact Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 outings this season and was averaging 10.7 minutes per game entering Tuesday's contest. He put together respectable numbers while showing his improved play from beyond the arc, but the veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury. Fortunately for the Cavaliers, their next contest doesn't take place until Sunday against the Celtics, but Bryant would be in line for his first start of the season if Allen is not cleared to play in that contest.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Moves out of rotation Bryant (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Cavaliers' 121-113 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With Evan Mobley available again after overcoming the calf injury that sidelined him for seven straight games leading up to the All-Star break, Bryant has dropped out of the Cleveland rotation for two of the past three contests. Bryant's opportunities are likely to be scarce over the final two months of the season so long as both Mobley and Jarrett Allen are able to stay healthy.

Sees 15 minutes off bench Bryant finished Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Pistons with seven points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 15 minutes.

Impact With Jarrett Allen sidelined by an illness, Bryant soaked up some extra minutes off the bench. He's been effective in limited action lately, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 12.6 minutes over his last six contests.

Grabs six rebounds in loss Bryant amassed seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

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.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees extended run Bryant ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over the Heat.

Impact With Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest), Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) out, Bryant saw his most meaningful playing time of the season. He contributed mainly on the boards, and his value remains limited when the starters are at full strength.

Impact Bryant likely only saw playing time Monday due to the nature of the game, reaching blowout status at the end of the second half. The Indiana product was able to make his season debut as a result, but he will likely only see the floor in the future due to injury or game script.

Impact Bryant signed a one-year deal with the Cavaliers during the offseason, providing the team with some depth at the center position. However, the addition of Larry Nance as another center option could see Bryant spending the majority of his time on the bench. Expect to see him in street clothes or, at best, cheering on from the sideline most nights.
