Jerami Grant was cleared on Tuesday's injury report after being listed day-to-day since Friday. The forward is available for Wednesday's season opener against the Jazz.
What happened
The Grizzlies cleared Jerami Grant on the official injury report Tuesday at 6:16 PM ET. He had been listed day-to-day, first for rest on Friday, Oct. 16, then with an undisclosed designation on Saturday, Oct. 17. The report did not include a comment or a detail on the status change. The 32-year-old forward now has no designation ahead of the opener. Isaiah Stewart remains day-to-day with a left ankle issue and is the only other Grizzlies player on the report.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis opens the 2026-27 season at home against the Jazz on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 8:00 PM ET, and Grant is set to be in the lineup. Last season he played 57 games at 29.7 minutes per night and averaged 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. With him out, the rotation leaned on Toby Okani, Lucas Williamson and Rayan Rupert for 30-plus minutes alongside Jaren Jackson Jr., Dariq Whitehead and Adama Bal, with Ja Morant and Santi Aldama rounding out the group. Grant's return should pull those minutes back toward the regulars. The Grizzlies are 0-0, so there is no with-or-without record yet.
What to watch
Grant carries no designation, so the next injury report should confirm his availability for the Jazz game unless something changes. The report has not announced an expected return for Stewart, whose left ankle keeps him day-to-day. Beyond Wednesday, watch whether Grant's minutes land near last season's 29.7 per game or whether Memphis eases him in after a week of day-to-day listings.
