Memphis Grizzlies forward Jerami Grant is listed as day-to-day and questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets with a head issue. The Grizzlies are already without Ty Jerome and Quinten Post, so his status affects their rotation.
What happened
Grant was added to the injury report at 3:12 p.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 14, as day-to-day with a head issue. The report's comment reads: "Grant (head) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets." The entry lists an expected return date of Nov. 14, the day of the game. No earlier status is attached to this entry. His last entries were in October, when he was listed day-to-day for rest on Oct. 16 and for an undisclosed issue on Oct. 17. He was cleared on Oct. 20. The report does not describe the injury further.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis (8-4, sixth seed, winners of its last game) hosts the Nets at 8:00 p.m. ET Saturday. Grant, 32, has played in all 12 games, averaging 23.8 minutes, 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The Grizzlies are 8-4 with him and have not played a game without him. If he sits, the minutes would most likely go to Cameron Boozer, Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells, with Isaiah Stewart and Cam Spencer also in the mix. The depth is thin. Jerome, Post, Richie Saunders and Scotty Pippen Jr. are out, and Zach Edey is day-to-day with an ankle issue.
What to watch
The next update will come before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET tip against the Nets, and Grant's status for the game should be settled then. The report lists Nov. 14 as his expected return, but he is questionable and the team has not announced anything beyond that. Edey's ankle is the other status to follow, since both are rotation players. The report does not say how long Grant could be out if he sits.
