Carter Bryant has been cleared, lifting him off the day-to-day list he had been on since Monday. The 20-year-old forward is available for San Antonio's game against the Suns on Wednesday night.
What happened
The Spurs' injury report listed Carter Bryant as cleared as of Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7:25 p.m. ET, removing the day-to-day tag he had carried since Monday, Oct. 12, when he was listed with an ankle and leg issue. The report does not include further detail on the injury or a comment on his practice status, and no expected return date was needed once the cleared designation was posted. Bryant, a 20-year-old forward, had not been ruled out at any point in the timeline, only listed as day-to-day.
What it means for the Spurs
San Antonio hosts the Suns on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET, with the team opening its 2026-27 season at 0-0. As a rookie last season, Bryant played in 71 games, averaging 11.5 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He returns to a rotation anchored by Victor Wembanyama (29.2 minutes, 25.0 points), De'Aaron Fox (31.0 minutes, 18.6 points), Stephon Castle (30.0 minutes, 16.7 points) and Devin Vassell (30.5 minutes, 13.9 points). With no regular-season games played yet this season, there is no record to compare with or without him.
