Heat's Thomas Bryant: Muted effort Monday
Thomas 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.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. While the position is currently Bryant's to lose, he is by no means a player managers need to concern themselves with.

Heat's Thomas Bryant: Returning to Miami
Thomas Bryant and the Miami Heat agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Bryant previously declined his $2.85 million player option for the 2024-25, but after assessing his opportunities on the open market, he'll ultimately stick around in Miami on a lesser deal. He'll likely find himself fourth in the pecking order at center for the Heat behind Bam Adebayo, Kevin Love and rookie Kel'el Ware, meaning that it may take an injury or two for Bryant to be a factor in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Heat's Thomas Bryant: Big double-double off bench
Thomas 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 Trail Blazers.It's the first double-double of the season for Bryant, who also led the Miami 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.

Thomas 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.Even though Bam Adebayo was Miami's best player in this game, Bryant found a way to make his presence felt, particularly on offense.
