Sources: Pacers acquire Thomas Bryant in trade with Heat

The Miami Heat have agreed on a trade to send center Thomas Bryant to the Indiana Pacers, sources told ESPN.

The Pacers will send a swap of a future second-round pick to the Heat for Bryant, who becomes trade-eligible on Sunday, sources said.

The Pacers scoured the trade market for a backup center after losing big men Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman to torn Achilles tendons.

The 6-foot-10 Bryant is in his eighth NBA season, averaging 4.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11 minutes a game this season.
