The report of the trade came three hours before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.

Bryant, 25, has averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 21.4 minutes in 41 games (25 starts) this season. He is in his sixth NBA season, having played his first year with the Lakers, then four seasons with the Washington Wizards before returning to Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old shooting guard has appeared in 114 games (seven starts) with the Phoenix Suns (2017-18), Indiana Pacers (2018-19) and Nuggets, whom he joined in the 2021-22 season.
