76ers' Quentin Grimes: Strong finish to season overall
Rotowire
Grimes recorded eight points (3-14 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Bulls.
With the injury-plagued 76ers missing their top three scoring options in the final weeks of the regular season, Grimes stepped up in a big way to wrap up the year. Over his closing 12 contests, Grimes averaged 24.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.5 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes. The 24-year-old swingman should garner plenty of interest from other teams this offseason, but Grimes is a restricted free agent, so the 76ers have the ability to match any offer he receives.

Rotowire
Grimes is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a right shoulder sprain.
This appears to be a new issue for Grimes, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. However, the 76ers have been super cautious with their key players. If Grimes is unable to play, Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler could soak up a lot of usage for the 76ers.

Grimes recorded 24 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 126-113 loss to the Bucks.
Grimes was expected to see more time as a playmaker in the final stages of the season, and while this is just one game, it certainly bodes well for him.

Rotowire
Grimes chipped in 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-95 loss to the Heat.
There's a strong argument to say Grimes has been Philadelphia's best player since the All-Star break, and the numbers back that up.
