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.
