Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Agrees to massive deal
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers signed Grant to a five-year, $160 million contract Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Grant signed on to stay in Portland for five more years after spending the 2022-23 campaign with the team. The 29-year-old forward averaged 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 35.7 minutes across 63 games. Grant also was very efficient, posting 47.5/40.1/81.3 shooting splits. As a capable wing defender, he is an ideal player to build around Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Grant (quad) will not play Wednesday against the Kings.
No surprise here, as Grant remains without a timetable to return. It doesn't help his case that the Blazers are seemingly giving up on the season based on their decision to shut down Damian Lillard with a calf injury. Nassir Little and Kevin Knox will have plenty of opportunity to show what they can do in the final couple of weeks.

Rotowire
Grant (quad) will not play Wednesday against the Jazz.
Grant will miss his fourth straight game for the Blazers, and the franchise may continue to be extra cautious, considering where they stand in the Western Conference. Trendon Watford has done an admirable job filling in for Grant and has become a serviceable fantasy player over the past several games for his rebounding, playmaking and ability to rack up steals.

Grant (quad) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Tuesday, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.
Grant suffered the injury Sunday and exited the game for good after 19 minutes of action. He was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, so it's safe to assume he's day-to-day.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Negative impact in loss
Rotowire
Grant supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and six rebounds across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-93 loss to the Celtics.
Grant didn't record an assist for the first time since Feb. 6. His inefficient scoring caused him to post a team-low minus-23 point differential. However, Grant's 20-plus points per game scoring, 47.5 field-goal percentage and 40.5 three-point percentage on the season still give him plenty of fantasy value.

Grant finished with 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 110-104 win over the Pistons.
Facing the team he had a breakout 2020-21 campaign for, Grant scored 20 or more points for the fourth time in six games since the All-Star break. The 28-year-old missed some time around the break due to a concussion, but he's looked healthy since, averaging 20.8 points, 5.2 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.5 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over that stretch.
