Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant has been linked with an exit from the team only one year into a five-year, $160 million contract extension. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports has noted that Grant is drawing interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. Grant was troubled by health issues for most of the 2023-24 campaign, featuring only 54 times for Portland. He shot a career-high 40.2 percent from deep to average 21.0 points. Grant also tied his career high with 2.8 assists while grabbing 3.5 rebounds. The 30-year-old would add size and scoring ability to the Lakers, but his large contract makes it difficult to acquire him.
According to SNY's Ian Begley, several teams have "checked in" on Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant. The veteran finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 21.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He also shot a career-high 40.2% from behind the arc. Without question, Grant would bolster a starting lineup for any club. However, he hasn't logged more than 63 games in any of the previous four seasons, which makes him a risky investment for teams. The same is true for fantasy managers.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. At this point, the Blazers should rule out Grant for the season. This team isn't going to make the postseason, so they are highly unlikely to put Grant on the floor in a few meaningless games. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray are expected to continue starting at the forward spots until further notice.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will remain out of the lineup on Friday versus Washington. He last played on March 11 and will miss a 13th consecutive game due to a hamstring strain. Jabari Walker put in a monster performance on the glass as Grant's replacement in the starting unit on Wednesday versus Charlotte and should be a busy man again on Friday night. Washington has the league's lowest rebounding rate and the third-lowest defensive rating.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Grant's right hamstring sprain has kept him out of action for twelve straight games, and it is likely to continue Friday and beyond. Portland started listing Grant as doubtful weeks ago, but he's not suited up once since then. Grant's season may very well be over since the Trail Blazers can only compete for draft lottery picks. Jabari Walker, Dalano Banton, and Kris Murray all experience major minute increases in Grant's absence to provide fantasy value.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game on Wednesday against Charlotte. He hasn't taken the court for three weeks, and it's beginning to look likely that we might have seen the last of Grant in 2023-24. Jabari Walker has moved into a starting role on the Portland frontcourt. He's been a volatile fantasy asset but gets a good matchup on Wednesday against a struggling team with a poor defensive record.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) isn't expected to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Charlotte. He's listed on the league's official injury report as doubtful. However, as each game passes, Grant's chances of returning during the 2023-24 campaign significantly decrease. Nevertheless, Jabari Walker should remain in the starting lineup if Grant doesn't play on Wednesday. The 21-year-old is coming off an 18-point effort in Monday's loss to Orlando. However, Walker combined for just 15 points in the three games leading up to Monday's contest, meaning he can't be trusted from a fantasy perspective.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Monday's contest against Orlando. He's been sidelined for a number of weeks with a hamstring problem, and Grant's absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was initially labeled as doubtful on the injury report. The Trail Blazers also recently lost Toumani Camara (ribs, lung) from the lineup, which has pushed Jabari Walker to the starting unit. The 21-year-old has posted 8.2 points and 7.9 rebounds in a starting role this season. He has an uncomfortable matchup on Monday against a slow-paced team that boasts an air-tight defense.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with Orlando. He's been sidelined for a few weeks because of a nagging hamstring strain, an injury that's bothered him throughout the year. But the Trail Blazers aren't going to the postseason, so Grant may not be back for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. With Anfernee Simons (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (elbow), and Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) still sidelined, Deandre Ayton, Dalano Banton, Scoot Henderson, and Kris Murray all warrant DFS consideration, especially if Grant is officially ruled out.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Friday versus Miami. The team has once again downgraded him to out after initially listing him as doubtful on the injury report with a right hamstring strain. With Toumani Camara (ribs) also absent on Friday, we should see a lot of Kris Murray and Jabari Walker. The young forwards tend to blow hot and cold and will be in a tricky matchup on Friday against a good defensive team, so fantasy managers should look at other options.
