Available to make Pacers debut Bryant (recently traded) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact After falling out of Miami's regular rotation, Bryant was shipped to Indiana and has a clear path to consistent playing time.

Shipped to Indiana The Heat are trading Bryant to the Pacers in exchange for a future second-round pick swap, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Thomas has been an inconsistent part of Miami's rotation with Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware also competing for backup center minutes. With Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) both out for the year, Bryant should have a clearer path to playing time in Indiana.

Garbage time special Wednesday Bryant notched eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks in nine minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.

Impact Bryant dusted himself off and moved into the rotation, albeit during the final minutes of a 40-point blowout. After starting the season as the backup behind Bam Adebayo, Bryant has since struggled to be an every-night part of the rotation. At this point, it would take an injury to Adebayo for Bryant to even come close to being a noteworthy asset.

Season-low two points in loss Bryant chipped in two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and five rebounds across 12 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bryant scored a season-low two points while tying his lowest mark in playing time Monday. The 27-year-old has served as the primary backup to Bam Adebayo with Kevin Love (conditioning) working his way back to game action. However, Bryant should not be considered a viable fantasy option as he will likely have to compete for minutes with both Love and Kel'el Ware as the season progresses.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Muted effort Monday Bryant logged four points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Monday's 106-98 win over Detroit.

Impact Bryant continues to play as the primary backup behind Bam Adebayo, playing limited minutes off the bench. He has been a non-factor to this point, offering nothing in the way of tangible production. Kel'el Ware put together a strong Summer League and preseason, which could eventually stand for something when it comes to who should be the backup center option. While the position is currently Bryant's to lose, he is by no means a player managers need to concern themselves with.

Reverts to bench Bryant won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.

Impact With most of the Heat's regulars resting during the preseason finale, Bryant drew a spot start. However, aside from Josh Richardson (shoulder), the Heat are healthy heading into the regular season, so Bryant isn't guaranteed playing time on Opening Night.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Grizzlies Bryant is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.

Impact The Heat are resting most of their regulars in the preseason finale since the start of the regular season is right around the corner. Bam Adebayo (rest) is among the players who won't feature in this one, so Bryant will start at center over rookie Kel'el Ware.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Returning to Miami Bryant and the Heat agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Bryant previously declined his $2.8 million player option, but now he's back with the Heat for the veteran's minimum. He's likely to be an emergency depth option for Miami after averaging 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 38 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Declines player option Saturday Bryant declined his $2.8 million player option Saturday, and he will test free agency this offseason, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Bryant had a down year with the Heat, and if he were to have stayed his role likely would have diminished as the club drafted Kel'el Ware with the No. 15 overall selection in the 2024 draft. The 26-year-old appeared in just 38 games for the Heat, during which he averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 11.6 minutes per game.

Big double-double off bench Bryant closed with 26 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's 142-82 victory over the...

Impact It's the first double-double of the season for Bryant, who also led the Heat in scoring during the biggest win in franchise history. The 22 minutes tied his season high, but the 26-year-old center has seen a larger role of late. With Nikola Jovic picking up a knee bruise Friday, there could be more minutes available for Bryant in the frontcourt in the short term.

Retreats to bench Bryant will come off the bench Friday night against the Pelicans.

Impact Bryant will shift back to a bench role now that Bam Adebayo has been cleared to return from his one-game suspension. Bryant is averaging 7.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in his last five appearances off the bench.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 10 boards in spot start Bryant totaled six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 15 minutes in Wednesday's 107-104 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Bryant got the start with Bam Adebayo scratched late due to pain and swelling in his back. Bryant wasn't able to crack 20 minutes of playing time despite getting the start, but the big man was able to reach double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. He'll return to his role on the bench once Adebayo is healthy enough to play.
