Bryant finished Saturday's 127-118 loss to the Trail Blazers with nine points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 23 minutes.
Bryant entered Saturday having logged three straight DNPs since the return of Kristaps Porzingis, but with Porzingis taking a day off to rest against Portland, Bryant received the opportunity to get back on the court. He played more minutes than starter Daniel Gafford and was particularly effective as a defender, registering a season-high three blocks. Porzingis is clearly Washington's top option at center, and it's unclear whether Bryant's solid effort Saturday will help him get back into the rotation alongside Gafford.
