Handed five-game suspension A South Carolina spokesperson announced Monday that Bryant (knee) has been suspended for the Gamecocks' first five games of the season for a violation of the athletic department po...

Impact Bryant previously missed time in training camp due to a minor knee issue and then didn't play in an exhibition last week, with his violation potentially playing a factor in his absence. The Gamecocks will now have to get by with one of their top players for all of November, after Bryant averaged 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.9 minutes per game in 2020-21. With Bryant out of the picture for the first five games, the likes of AJ Wilson, Ja/Von Benson, and Tre-Vaughn Minott could all see minor boosts in playing time at forward.

Back with starters Bryant will start Saturday's game against Georgia.

Impact Bryant is coming off of three straight 14-plus point contests for the Gamecocks, though that largely comes as a component of an increased shooting volume. Over the three games, the junior has attempted 42 shots and is converting at just a 38.1 percent rate. He has only made 14.3 percent of his three-point attempts during that span as well, but the volume should keep him in fantasy consideration.
