Thomas Bryant News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Not starting Thursday Bryant won't start in Thursday's game against Memphis, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Myles Turner will return to the starting five on Thursday, pushing Bryant back to the bench. The big man started in three of the club's last six outings, and in that six-game span, Bryant averaged 11.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 25.2 minutes per contest.

Flirts with double-double in start Bryant put forth nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime win over Washington.

Impact With Jarace Walker (back) out, Bryant continued to see an expanded role in the starting lineup Wednesday and led all Pacers players in rebounds while finishing one point short of a double-double. Bryant set new season high in boards and assists, his second outing of the year in double figures in rebounds. He has recorded at least nine points and eight boards in four straight contests.

Productive outing in loss Bryant racked up 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to the Knicks.

Impact It was a productive outing by Bryant, who continues to start at center for the Pacers while Myles Turner sits on the shelf with a neck injury. Through four games in Indiana's starting lineup this year, Bryant has been serviceable with averages of 15.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 27.2 minutes while shooting 54.0 percent from the field. With Turner already ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Washington, Bryant will remain a solid streaming choice in fantasy leagues.

Solid showing in spot start Bryant closed Saturday's 124-117 loss to the Lakers with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes.

Impact Myles Turner (neck) missed his first game after getting injured Thursday, but Bryant didn't see a significant increase in his workload despite getting the start -- Obi Toppin played 22 minutes off the bench as the duo split the minutes in the paint. Bryant did lead the Pacers in rebounds on the afternoon, while the four assists tied his season high -- a mark he set in Indiana's last game, after Turner exited the court early in the first quarter. If Turner continues to be held out, Bryant should see a small bump in his numbers, but starter-level minutes and production will likely elude him.

Starting Saturday vs. LAL Bryant is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Bryant will make his third start of the year Saturday due to the absence of Myles Turner (neck). With Turner out and Bryant starting, Obi Toppin and Enrique Freeman could see some playing time at center when the Pacers go with a small-ball lineup. Bryant finished Thursday's 119-112 win over the Clippers with 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes.

Nabs first double-double of year Bryant registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 119-112 victory over the Clippers.

Impact The double-double was Bryant's first of the season, as the 27-year-old center took advantage of an opportunity for a bigger role after Myles Turner (concussion) headed to the locker room after playing only six minutes. Obi Toppin also wound up seeing 28 minutes off the bench Thursday, and both players could be handed larger workloads if Turner misses additional time.

Moves back to bench Tuesday Bryant is coming off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Following Monday's spot start against Utah, Bryant will retreat to Indiana's bench in the return of Myles Turner (ankle) on Tuesday. Bryant has averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.9 threes in 13.4 minutes while shooting 43.6 percent from deep over 20 appearances from the Pacers' second unit in 2024-25.

Starting Monday vs. Utah Bryant is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Jazz on Monday.

Reverts to bench against Warriors Bryant is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After scoring a season-high 22 points during his spot start in Wednesday's win over the Bulls, Bryant is expectedly heading back to the second unit in Myles Turner's (illness) return to the Pacers. Bryant's short-term fantasy appeal appears to have subsided for the time being, as he's averaged just 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.7 threes in 11.5 minutes over 11 games off Indiana's bench this season.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 22 points as starter Bryant logged 22 points (), eight boards, two steals and an assist across 28 minutes of play in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.

Impact With Myles Turner (illness) sidelined, Bryant got his first start of the season. He delivered in a huge way, dropping a season high in points and collecting his second-highest rebound total of the season. Head coach Rick Carlisle and Bryant's teammates clearly had a lot of trust in him to step up, given the fact that he took more shots than franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton and rotation mainstays Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin. Wednesday's strong showing could lead to more opportunity for Bryant even once Turner returns to the lineup, although it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to remain relevant from a fantasy perspective.

Joining first unit sans Turner Bryant will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Bryant is slated to make his first appearance as a starter in 2024-25, joining the first unit in place of the injured Myles Turner at center Wednesday. The veteran big man has averaged 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 threes in 12.7 minutes across his last six contests, but Bryant should experience an uptick in playing time against Chicago, putting him in the streaming mix in fantasy leagues.

Non-existent in loss Bryant ended Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Bucks with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across five minutes.

Impact Bryan saw just five minutes, the fewest he has played since joining Indiana. Despite being the only backup center option, the Pacers opted to run with a number of small-ball lineups, limiting Bryant's opportunities. While he should remain a part of the rotation, it is clear he is not being prioritized at this point.

Season-high 12 points off bench Bryant accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 142-105 loss to Boston.

Impact Bryant took on the backup center role in the absence of small-ball five Obi Toppin (ankle), providing decent production in the form of a season-high 12 points in just 19 minutes off the bench Friday. Bryant has now made six appearances since latching on with Indiana, averaging a mere 4.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steal, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 11.3 minutes for the Pacers in 2024-25. Even with Toppin's status uncertain for Sunday's rematch with the Celtics, Bryant still doesn't appear likely to handle enough minutes to make a significant impact for fantasy managers in the vast majority of leagues.
