Jerami Grant News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Unlikely to play Monday Grant (quadriceps) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Grant is unlikely to play Monday after experiencing right quadricep soreness during Saturday's overtime win over Memphis. Matisse Thybulle (hip) is questionable, so Portland's wing depth may be tested if both forwards are downgraded to out.

Will not return Saturday Grant will not return to Saturday's game versus Memphis due to right quad soreness. He finished with five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT)

Impact The injury sounds relatively minor, but Portland tends to be cautious with their veterans. With Grant sidelined, Portland could lean more on players such as Jabari Walker and Matisse Thybulle.

Posts well-rounded line in loss Grant registered 24 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Heat.

Impact Grant finished two points behind Anfernee Simons for the team scoring lead Tuesday despite taking 11 fewer shots. Grant also led the Blazers in assists and steals, with his three thefts falling one short of his season-high mark. The veteran forward has somewhat quietly put up 20-plus points in seven of his past 10 contests, averaging 23.8 points during that stretch.

Struggles with shot Sunday Grant contributed 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 93-80 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Grant might have ended as Portland's second-best scorer in this low-scoring matchup, but there's no question he had a rough outing, as he needed 18 shots to just 15 points while also failing to contribute in other categories. There's a strong chance this was nothing more than a wrong step for Grant, however, as the veteran forward is averaging 24.2 points per game across six outings in February.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Strong from deep as top scorer Grant recorded 25 points (9-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 127-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Grant led all Portland players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes and swiping three steals defensively in a well-rounded outing. Grant has recorded three or more threes with at least 25 points in two of his last five games, now tallying three or more steals in three outings.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 20 points Grant amassed 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-91 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Grant was the only Trail Blazer to score 20-plus points. Portland fell behind early with a 44-14 deficit, and the anemic results continued throughout the game. The Trail Blazers depend heabvly on grant's output, but even his recent 49-point night result against Detroit failed to register a notch in the win column.

Turns in 24 points Grant supplied 24 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes during Saturday's 93-84 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Grant came back to earth after an eye-popping 41 points against Detroit, but his contribution to the Trail Blazers was as important as ever. The Trail Blazers were putting the pieces together prior to Grant's two-game absence, and the team has now gone off the rails with the starting backcourt sidelined. Grant is fully healthy, and he'll continue to post respectable numbers as the team navigates through what appears to be a lost season.

Grant leads Portland against New Orleans after 49-point game

Portland hosts the New Orleans Pelicans after Jerami Grant scored 49 points in the Portland Trail Blazers' 128-122 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons

FEBRUARY 10 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Career-high 49 points in OT loss Grant amassed 49 points (14-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 18-20 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 45 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to the Pistons.

Impact After sitting out the prior two games with a tight lower back, the former Piston erupted for a career-best scoring effort against his old club, but he didn't get enough help to put the Trail Blazers over the top. Grant has delivered at least 30 points three times in his last 10 games, averaging 24.5 points, 4.9 boards, 3.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.

Will play Thursday Grant (back) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Grant should see a nice uptick in usage Thursday night with Malcolm Brogdon (illness) and Deandre Ayton (illness) watching from the sidelines, so he could be someone to consider targeting in daily fantasy leagues.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Thursday Grant (back) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Pistons.

Impact Grant is expected to return to action Thursday after missing the previous two games with lower back tightness. Grant will likely replace Kris Murray in the starting five if he's upgraded to available.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Grant (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Grant will miss a second consecutive game due to lower back tightness. Toumani Camara figures to be the main beneficiary in Grant's absence, while Matisse Thybulle could also see an uptick in minutes.

Questionable versus Denver Grant (back) is questionable to play versus Denver on Sunday.

Impact Grant was a late scratch against Denver on Friday and has been dealing with back issues for roughly a week. Toumani Camara started in his place Friday and produced 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block in 24 minutes.

Late scratch Friday Grant is a late scratch for Friday's game against Denver due to lower back tightness.

Impact Grant was not on Portland's injury report and was ruled out just a few minutes prior to tipoff. With the veteran forward sidelined, Portland will give Toumani Camara the start.

Balanced production in victory Grant closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 win over the Bucks.

Impact Grant rose to the occasion against former teammate Damian Lillard. Although Wednesday's effort was not Grants best from a scoring perspective, the opportunity to demonstrate his leadership after emerging from Lillard's shadow was apparent. After a poor game against the Spurs last week, Grant has averaged 23.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over three games.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 27 points Grant registered 27 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Grant led a spirited effort by the Trail Blazers, taking advantage of key absences from Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (ankle) to blow out the Sixers. Grant played despite dealing with a lingering back injury, but he had no issue with getting physical inside, as he drew multiple fouls and converted 12 of 13 free-throw attempts.

Good to go Grant (back) will play in Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Grant will be able to play through the back injury that caused him to leave Friday's game against the Spurs early. The 29-year-old pro has been on a tear of late, averaging 24.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 37.0 minutes per game over the last five games he was able to finish.

Iffy Sunday Grant (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Grant left Friday's game against the Spurs early due to back soreness that has his status for Sunday's game in question. If he is unable to go, Mattise Thybulle and Toumani Camara could be in line for extended run.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back soreness Grant will not return to Friday's game against the Spurs due to back soreness. He finished with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in 10 minutes.

Impact Grant has been logging a ton of minutes for Portland lately, so this is a tough blow to the team. For now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls which is the front end of a back-to-back set. If he misses additional time, the Trail Blazers could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes because they are already shorthanded.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Near double-double vs. Rockets Grant racked up 21 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 137-131 overtime win over the Rockets.

Impact Grant was one assist short of registering his second double-double of the season, and his nine dimes in Wednesday's OT win was his most of the year. Over his last five games, Grant has averaged 24.6 points on 49.5 percent shooting (including 42.9 percent from three), 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 blocks over 37.0 minutes per game.
