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.

Clears health and safety protocols Grant has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is now in the return to competition reconditioning program, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Grant landed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday but has now been cleared to rejoin the team. He'll still need to work on his conditioning, so it's not yet known whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup against Orlando. The 27-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 10 after undergoing thumb surgery, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his playing time monitored once he's ultimately cleared to return.

Won't play Tuesday Grant (thumb) entered the league's health and safety protocols Monday.

Impact Grant was recalled from the G League on Monday after he spent time rehabbing from a thumb injury, but he'll now be forced to isolate from the team. The 27-year-old is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return.

Back from G League stint The Pistons recalled Grant (thumb) from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Impact The Pistons haven't revealed whether Grant's return from a week-long rehab stint in the G League signals that he'll be ready to play Tuesday against the Nuggets, as his recall may have just been the result of Detroit concluding a four-game road trip. Regardless, the fact that Grant was able to practice in the G League over the past several days is a good sign for his health, even though he remains without a clear target date to rejoin the lineup. Grant hasn't played since Dec. 10 after suffering torn ligaments in his right thumb and undergoing surgery.

Cleared for on-court work The Pistons assigned Grant (thumb) to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday to resume on-court work, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Detroit isn't yet offering up a timeline for Grant's return, but his ability to get on the court following Dec. 16 right thumb surgery can be viewed as a promising sign. Because he's been shut down for the past month, Grant will likely need multiple practices with both the G League affiliate and the NBA team to regain full conditioning, but his return date will ultimately hinge on when his surgically repaired thumb has completely healed. Whenever Grant makes his return to the lineup, Hamidou Diallo is expected to move back into a bench role.

Impact Grant hasn't played since Dec. 10 due to a sprained right thumb that required surgery. The veteran forward doesn't appear to be dealing with any setbacks in his recovery, but the Pistons aren't planning on re-evaluating him for another two weeks before potentially offering up a target date for his return. Hamidou Diallo is expected to continue to stick in a starting role for the duration of Grant's absence.
