Bryant and the 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.

Thomas Bryant Latest News
Returning to Miami
Bryant and the 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.
Declines player option Saturday
Bryant declined his $2.8 million player option Saturday, and he will test free agency this offseason, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Bryant had a down year with the Heat, and if he were to have stayed his role likely would have diminished as the club drafted Kel'el Ware with the No. 15 overall selection in the 2024 draft. The 26-year-old appeared in just 38 games for the Heat, during which he averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 11.6 minutes per game.
Big double-double off bench
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 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. With Nikola Jovic picking up a knee bruise Friday, there could be more minutes available for Bryant in the frontcourt in the short term.
Retreats to bench
Bryant will come off the bench Friday night against the Pelicans. Bryant will shift back to a bench role now that Bam Adebayo has been cleared to return from his one-game suspension. Bryant is averaging 7.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in his last five appearances off the bench.
Grabs 10 boards in spot start
Bryant totaled six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 15 minutes in Wednesday's 107-104 win over the Cavaliers. Bryant got the start with Bam Adebayo scratched late due to pain and swelling in his back. Bryant wasn't able to crack 20 minutes of playing time despite getting the start, but the big man was able to reach double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. He'll return to his role on the bench once Adebayo is healthy enough to play.
Gets start sans Adebayo
Bryant will start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. With Bam Adebayo (back) unavailable, Bryant will make his first start since Nov. 25 and his fourth start of the season. Over his last three starts, Bryant has averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 19.7 minutes.
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. 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 regularly going forward, meaning Bryant's upside will be limited even if he has productive outings such as Monday's.
Receives three-game suspension
The NBA announced Sunday that Bryant has been suspended for three games for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in Friday's 106-95 win over New Orleans. Bryant and Jose Alvarado each received three-game suspensions after both left their respective bench areas and began fighting with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. Both players left the bench in response to the Pelicans taking exception to a Kevin Love foul on Zion Williamson (foot), which sparked an altercation between Jimmy Butler and Naji Marshall. Since Butler and Marshall were already on the court when the incident occurred, both were assessed one-game suspension, but Bryant and Alvarado will both face stiffer penalties. Bryant is eligible to return to action March 2 against the Jazz, but he hasn't been a regular part of the Miami rotation anyway.
