THOMAS BRYANT NEWS

Back in rotation Sunday Bryant closed Sunday's 109-95 victory over Sacramento with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and one block in 21 minutes.

Impact Bryant got back in the rotation Sunday, albeit in a game where the Nuggets were playing for nothing. Despite seemingly coming to Denver seeking more playing time, things have not gone to plan. Given he had not even made it onto the court in the 10 days prior to Sunday, it's hard to see him having any sort of impact come the playoffs.

Falls flat in spot start Bryant ended Thursday's 107-88 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one block across 14 minutes.

Impact With Nikola Jokic (rest/calf) sidelined for the first half of a back-to-back set, Bryant got the start at center but failed to take advantage of the opportunity and ultimately played just 14 minutes. With Jokic expected back Friday, Bryants offers almost zero fantasy value with his new team.

Fails to score in eight minutes Bryant provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in eight minutes during Tuesday's 125-110 loss to Toronto.

Impact Bryant continues to play limited minutes, currently sitting well outside the top 300 since arriving in Denver. Despite being traded from the Lakers due to insufficient playing time, Bryant has fared no better with his new team. While he does have the ability to put up 12-team value when afforded meaningful minutes, that simply isn't going to be happening anytime soon. Clearly, he is well off the fantasy radar at this point, even in deeper formats.

Available to play Bryant (ankle) will be available to play Monday against the Raptors.

Impact Bryant will be available to back up Nikola Jokic against Toronto, which could result in a DNP-CD for DeAndre Jordan. As long as Jokic is healthy, it'll be tough for Bryant to get enough minutes to impact fantasy hoops.

Should play through injuries Bryant is probable for Monday's matchup against the Raptors with a right ankle sprain and a hip contusion.

Impact It doesn't appear like either injury is too significant, as the backup big man is still expected to suit up versus Toronto. Over his last seven contests, he's posting 5.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game.

Nikola Jokic scores 27, Nuggets hold off Heat 112-108

Plays two minutes Bryant finished with zero points (0-1 FG) over two minutes during Saturday's 119-105 win over the Hornets.

Impact Bryant stepped on the floor for his new team for the first time Saturday night, although it was for only two minutes during garbage time at the end. Once he gets acclimated, he will likely take over the backup center minutes currently occupied by DeAndre Jordan. However, even when that does happen, those minutes aren't significant enough for Bryant to be considered in standard leagues.

Available, may not see floor Bryant (trade) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets but may not play due to a hectic schedule and late arrival, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Bryant landed in Charlotte a little after 3 p.m. ET, immediately dropped off his bags at the hotel and took a bus to the arena. While he's technically available to play, coach Michael Malone may choose to let the backup big take a breather and observe from the bench. If that's the case, DeAndre Jordan could end up back in the rotation.

Set to debut Saturday Bryant (trade) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Bryant joined the bevy of players on the move before Thursday's trade deadline, and it appears he's ready to make his first appearance in a Nuggets uniform. Unfortunately, the move to Denver also seemingly will cut into Bryant's fantasy production the rest of the way, now that he's aligned behind superstar center Nikola Jokic.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to debut Saturday Bryant (trade) is not yet with the Nuggets and is questionable to make his team debut Saturday against the Hornets.

Impact The Nuggets traded Davon Reed and a few second-rounders for Bryant, who figures to be the new backup center behind Nikola Jokic. Bryant showed upside with the Lakers earlier in the year, especially during Anthony Davis' extended absence. Obviously, Bryant's potential behind Jokic is limited, but he'll still be worth rostering in daily formats when the two-time MVP sits out.

Heading to Denver The Lakers traded Bryant to the Nuggets on Thursday in exchange for Davon Reed, a 2025 second-round pick and two 2029 second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact The 25-year-old saw extended run in the starting lineup earlier this year while Anthony Davis was unavailable, but Bryant saw his role decrease in recent games since Davis returned to the court and the Lakers acquired Rui Hachimura from the Wizards. Bryant would have had even more of an uphill battle for playing time after Jarred Vanderbilt was traded from the Jazz to the Lakers on Wednesday, but he'll now operate as the backup center in Denver behind Nikola Jokic. While Jokic tends to stay on the court more than Davis, Bryant should have an opportunity to carve out a fairly consistent role off the bench with the Nuggets.
