Active off bench in loss Bryant accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 98-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Even though Bam Adebayo was Miami's best player in this game, Bryant found a way to make his presence felt, particularly on offense. That said, he's not going to see many minutes on a regular basis going forward, meaning his upside will be limited even if he has productive outings such as Monday's.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • NBA.COM

Receives three-game suspension Bryant has been suspended for three games for his role in a physical altercation during Friday's win over New Orleans.

Impact Bryant and Jose Alvarado each received three-game suspensions for escalating violence Friday after Zion Williamson (foot) was fouled by Kevin Love. Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler and Naji Marshall will be suspended for one game, but Bryant's punishment is the stiffest and will sideline him until March 2's game against Utah.

Ejected Friday Bryant was ejected from Friday's game versus the Pelicans with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Impact Bryant didn't touch the floor for Miami on Friday, but he got into it on the sidelines with Jose Alvarado. Punches were thrown by both players, so a suspension could be on the table. Bryant has been completely out of the rotation since January.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid numbers off bench Bryant finished with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 115-106 victory over Orlando.

Impact With Kevin Love (illness) out of action, Bryant saw his biggest workload since Nov. 22 and set a new, if modest, season high in scoring. His role in the Miami frontcourt behind Bam Adebayo limits his fantasy upside, but Bryant could have some appeal as a bargain DFS option Friday against the Hawks if Love remains sidelined.

Back to bench Bryant will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Bam Adebayo is back with the starting group after sitting out Saturday's game against the Nets with a hip injury. Bryant wasn't able to make the most of his spot start Saturday, scoring two points with one rebound and one steal in 13 minutes.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stutters in spot start Bryant closed with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 13 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 loss to the Nets.

Impact Bryant got the starting nod Saturday after Bam Adebayo was ruled out with an ongoing hip injury. Despite starting, Bryant was a non-factor, scoring two points in 13 minutes. He remains ahead of Orlando Robinson in the rotation for some reason, a strategy that could change at some point should the coaching staff decide to go with the common sense move.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Bryant is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Impact Bryant will replace Bam Adebayo (hip) in the starting lineup Saturday. Bryant is averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 23.0 minutes across his previous two starts this season.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making second start of 2023 Bryant will join the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Despite receiving a DNP-CD in each of Miami's last three contests, Bryant will step into the starting lineup with Bam Adebayo (hip) and Kevin Love (personal) sidelined. In his only other start this season, Bryand played 22 minutes and logged 10 points, two rebounds and two steals.

Will play Wednesday Coach Erik Spoelstra said Bryant will play in place of Kevin Love (personal) during Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Kevin Love hasn't started since Oct. 30, so Bryant isn't expected to slide into the starting lineup, but the latter should be able to crack the rotation. After playing double-digit minutes in eight straight games to start the year, averaging 6.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.8 minutes during that stretch, Bryant has totaled just eight minutes over Miami's last six games.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slides to second unit Bryant will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Bryant drew the starting nod in place of Bam Adebayo during Miami's last contest. With Adebayo now healthy, Bryant will return to a reserve role.

Fills in for Adebayo Bryant provided 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 122-114 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Bryant struggled as a starter and was outplayed by Orlando Robinson, the team's third-string center who ended with 11 points, seven rebounds and seven assists across 26 minutes. This was Bryant's best game of the season thus far, but it's still not enough to make him valuable in fantasy, especially since Bam Adebayo (hip) is being listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

Nabs start at center Bryant is starting Monday night's game against Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Bryant will draw his first start of the season while Bam Adebayo recovers from a hip contusion. Bryant has seen limited action in his first three contests of the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 13.7 minutes per game.
