Bryant (calf) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.
Bryant will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf), leaving Cleveland very thin up front. Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr figure to help fill the void at center.

Rotowire
Bryant (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Bryant is in line for a third straight absence as a result of a left calf strain, and the fact that he continues to be ruled out a full day ahead of tipoff isn't a great sign. He'll have one final opportunity for regular-season action Sunday against Washington.

Rotowire
Bryant (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
A left calf strain is keeping Bryant out for a second straight contest. If Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) both remain sidelined, Larry Nance would likely serve as the No. 2 center behind Jarrett Allen on Wednesday.

Rotowire
Bryant closed Sunday's 117-108 win over the Pacers with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes.

Rotowire
Bryant finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one block over 25 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Lakers.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Depth role continues
Rotowire
Bryant finished Monday's 122-113 victory over Utah with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 18 minutes.
Bryant continues to serve as a backup option, despite the fact that Jarrett Allen was out due to injury management. Although Bryant appears to have cemented a spot in the rotation, it is unlikely to yield enough production to warrant significant fantasy attention.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Sniffs double-double off bench
Rotowire
Bryant provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 win over New Orleans.
While Bryant did manage to score in double digits for the fourth time in his past six games, he hasn't quite been able to muster much fantasy relevance despite the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee). Over his last eight contests, Bryant has averaged 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 15.0 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Could benefit if Allen misses time
Rotowire
Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.
Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 appearances this season and is averaging 10.8 minutes per game. He put together respectable numbers Tuesday and came through with his first outing with multiple three-pointers since Feb. 7. The veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury, though Allen will have some extra time to recover before the Cavaliers' next game Sunday versus the Celtics.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Moves out of rotation
Rotowire
Bryant (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Cavaliers' 121-113 loss to the Thunder.
With Evan Mobley available again after overcoming the calf injury that sidelined him for seven straight games leading up to the All-Star break, Bryant has dropped out of the Cleveland rotation for two of the past three contests. Bryant's opportunities are likely to be scarce over the final two months of the season, so long as both Mobley and Jarrett Allen can stay healthy.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Plays 12 minutes in win
Rotowire
Bryant notched six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 135-119 victory over the Pacers.
Bryant is buried on the depth chart behind the likes of Jarrett Allen (finger) and Evan Mobley, but with Allen slated to miss at least a week due to injury, Bryant may see meaningful minutes on the court temporarily. Mobley will slide to the center spot, but Bryant should continue to back Mobley up until Allen is available to return.

With Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest), Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) out, Bryant saw his most meaningful playing time of the season. He contributed mainly on the boards, and his value remains limited when the starters are at full strength.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Logs first stats of season in win
Rotowire
Bryant dropped four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists across seven minutes in Monday's 116-95 victory over the Pistons.
Bryant likely only saw playing time Monday due to the nature of the game, reaching blowout status at the end of the second half. The Indiana product was able to make his season debut as a result, but he will likely only see the floor in the future due to injury or game script.

Rotowire
Bryant agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
