Back in July, reports indicated that Bryant was nearing a deal with Panathinaikos of the EuroLeague and the Greek Basket League, which would have put his NBA career on pause. Additionally, just a little over a week ago, it was reported that the Indiana alum had worked out with the New York Knicks in the offseason before they chose to sign another former Pacer instead, Malcolm Brogdon.
