Carter Bryant is day-to-day with a right ankle injury after rolling it in Saturday's preseason loss to Phoenix. His status leaves the Spurs without a clear answer on his availability for Monday night's game at Utah.
What happened
The San Antonio Spurs listed Carter Bryant as day-to-day on Monday's 12:06 p.m. ET injury report, with an ankle and leg designation. He was not previously listed, marking the first appearance on an injury report this season for the 20-year-old forward. Bryant exited Saturday's 102-98 preseason loss to Phoenix after rolling his right ankle in the first half and did not return, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
What it means for the Spurs
The Spurs are in Utah Monday night for a preseason game, and the 2026-27 regular season has not started, so there is no record yet with or without Bryant on the floor. Last season he averaged 11.5 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 71 games. If Bryant cannot go, bench forwards already ahead of him in minutes should see the load, with Julian Champagnie at 27.6 minutes, Harrison Barnes at 25.8 and Keldon Johnson at 23.3 per game, well above Bryant's rookie-season workload.
What to watch
San Antonio's next injury report will determine whether Bryant is available for Monday's game against the Jazz; no firm return timeline beyond that has been announced. Tobias Harris, De'Aaron Fox and Malik Williams are also day-to-day on Monday's report, while Jayden Quaintance remains out with a knee injury as San Antonio continues its preseason schedule.
Is Carter Bryant playing at Jazz?
Bryant is day-to-day with a right ankle injury and has not been ruled out of Monday's game against the Jazz; his final status should come with San Antonio's next injury report.
When will Carter Bryant be back?
San Antonio has not announced a firm return date. Bryant is listed day-to-day, and his availability will be updated on the Spurs' next injury report.
