The Miami Heat have traded Thomas Bryant to the Indiana Pacers, allowing them to swap second-round picks in 2031. This agreement was finalized on Friday but only became official on Sunday.

Bryant, who averaged 4.1 points in 10 games for Miami, joins the Pacers as their fifth team, addressing their need for a backup center behind Myles Turner. The trade also provides the Heat with roster flexibility as they manage their post position depth.
