The Indiana Pacers are set to acquire center Thomas Bryant from the Miami Heat in a trade that involves a second-round pick swap. This move is expected to assist the Heat in managing their salary cap, saving them $4.7 million against the luxury tax.

Bryant, who has played 10 games this season, will provide the Pacers with a backup option behind Myles Turner, especially after injuries to Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman. The Pacers are currently below the luxury tax threshold and may consider further roster adjustments.
