Due to a lower-body injury, Portland Trail Blazers star forward Jerami Grant will not be playing for the remainder of the team’s away game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. The team made this announcement via its official account on X (previously Twitter).

Grant shot just 1-for-5 from the field but managed to generate five points and an assist before leaving the game. It doesn’t appear like the injury is really serious. Moreover, Grant’s health is likely the reason the Blazers are taking additional precautions. The Blazers don’t really need to push Grant back into the lineup because they won’t be participating in the NBA Playoffs. They have only played 16 games this season, with 42 defeats, going into Saturday’s match.

The Blazers will be taking a rest on Sunday before playing the Grizzlies again at the same venue Monday night. Given the aforementioned playoff chances of Portland, it will hardly be a surprise if the team decides to keep Grant from playing for at least one more contest.

In his first 51 games of the season, Grant—who turns 30 on March 12—averaged 21.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He also posted a 45.2 field goal shooting percentage and a 40.4 percent success rate on three-pointers. Grant is participating in the first season of a five-year, $160 million contract that he signed with the Blazers back in July.

Due to Grant’s injury, Jabari Walker and Matisse Thybulle may play more minutes.
