Jerami Grant - Won't play Friday Grant (COVID-19 protocols) won't be available for Friday's game against the Magic. Impact Though Pistons head coach Dwane Casey confirmed that Grant cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Thursday and rejoined the team for practice, the 27-year-old forward will still need time to regain conditioning. Prior to entering the protocols, Grant had been sidelined since Dec. 10 with a sprained right thumb that required surgery, so he'll likely need at least another practice or two to get back to full speed. Once cleared to play, Grant should step back in as the Pistons' starting power forward, while Hamidou Diallo presumably moves to the bench to clear a spot at small forward for Saddiq Bey.
