Overview

  • Bryant’s agreement was reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania through his agents, with financial terms not disclosed.
  • He played 56 regular-season games for the Pacers last year after a December trade from Miami, averaging 6.9 points and 3.9 rebounds in 15.1 minutes.
  • He made spot appearances in 20 playoff games during Indiana’s run to the NBA Finals, shooting 50% from three and delivering timely minutes off the bench.
  • Local reporting says he becomes Cleveland’s 14th standard contract as the cap-conscious Cavs plan to carry 14 players, while another outlet lists him in a different roster slot.
  • He joins a frontcourt led by Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley alongside newcomer Larry Nance Jr., choosing Cleveland after summer reports linked him to Greek club Panathinaikos.
