Bryant totaled 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 25 minutes during Thursday's 93-66 Summer League loss to the Hawks.
The 2025 lottery pick shook off a scoreless first half to reach double figures, though he'll look to improve his efficiency after committing four turnovers. The Spurs used him at shooting guard Thursday, which put him out of his comfort zone, so that's something to watch going forward.

Rotowire
Bryant (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Josh Paredes of FanSided Sports reports.

Spurs' Carter Bryant: Back in rotation Saturday
Rotowire
Bryant racked up zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in five minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pelicans.
Bryant played for just the second time in the past five games, continuing what has been a quiet start for the rookie. As the Spurs get healthy bodies back on the floor, Bryant's role will likely continue to shrink. At this point, there is no reason to be rostering him outside of dynasty formats.

Bryant scored his first NBA points via free throws (2-2 FT) in five minutes during Sunday's 118-107 win over Brooklyn.
Despite being San Antonio's 2025 first-round draft selection, Bryant has not found a place among the rotation three games into the season, as he has yet to eclipse 10 minutes of playing time. With players like Jeremy Sochan (wrist) and Luke Kornet (ankle) also expected to return from injury in the near future, Bryant may find himself buried deeper in the depth chart.

Spurs' Carter Bryant: Quiet in Summer League opener
Rotowire
Bryant recorded seven points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes in Saturday's 82-69 Summer League loss to the Heat.
The No. 14 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Bryant wasn't known for his offensive prowess at Arizona, so the low usage Saturday wasn't a big shock even though the Spurs are without Dylan Harper (groin). Bryant is a three-and-D prospect who averaged 0.9 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 37.1 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman. Minutes could be tough to come by early on in his rookie season.

Spurs' Carter Bryant: Selected by Spurs
Rotowire
Bryant was selected by the Spurs with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Spurs will bolster their depth on the wings by selecting the former Arizona standout. Bryant didn't stand out as a scoring weapon with the Wildcats, but he's a strong three-and-D prospect who should find a way to get consistent minutes off the bench as long as he adjusts to the defensive pace of the NBA. Bryant averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 37 games during his final college campaign in 2024-25 while shooting 37.1 percent from three-point range.
