Bryant has not responded to a request for comment on the decision, but Elon teammate Dmitri Thompson posted a picture on Instagram wishing him well in the future.
Bryant played in all 33 of Elon's games last season, averaging a team-high 14.2 points per game, 2.7 assists per game and 4.2 rebounds per game. The Phoenix finished the 2014-2015 season 15-18 (6-12 CAA) and lost in the conference quarterfinals to top-seeded William and Mary.
