The Indiana Pacers acquired center Thomas Bryant from the Miami Heat on Sunday.
The teams agreed to swap second-round picks in the 2031 NBA Draft, with the Heat keeping the more favorable of the selections.
Bryant is expected to be available for Indiana’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday in Indianapolis.
Bryant, 27, is in his eighth season in the NBA and his second with the Heat. The 6-foot-10 Bryant got into 10 games this season and averaged 4.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game, his lowest averages since his rookie year.
In 277 career games (138 starts) with the Los Angeles Lakers (2017-18; 2022-23), Washington Wizards (2018-22), Denver Nuggets (2023) and Heat (2023-24), Bryant has averaged 9.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
The Pacers were seeking a new backup center after both Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman were lost to torn Achilles tendons. Bryant played collegiately at Indiana.
