Efficient outing in return Grant amassed 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 loss to the Pelicans. Impact A thumb injury has sidelined Grant since Dec. 10, and while it looked like he may have been ready to make his return early last week, he ultimately landed in COVID-19 protocols following a stint in the G League. However, after clearing protocols and regaining his conditioning, he was finally able to return to the court Tuesday. He played 29 minutes, which is just below his season average (33.0), so he doesn't appear to be facing a minutes restriction, though the Pistons may opt to be cautious with him during their upcoming back-to-back -- Thursday against Minnesota and Friday against Boston.
