The Miami Heat have traded backup center Thomas Bryant to the Indiana Pacers for a future second-round pick swap, as reported by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.
Once the trade becomes official, the Heat will operate with 13 players on standard contracts, which is one below the league minimum, for up to two weeks.
Bryant's trade opens up a roster spot for the Heat to potentially convert Dru Smith to a standard contract, as he's showing great improvement this season.
Dru Smith has averaged 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists over his last five games, performing strongly with consistent scoring.
