Is Jerami Grant playing for Trail Blazers in Tuesday's play-in game?
TL;DR
Jerami Grant is listed as questionable for the Trail Blazers' play-in game against the Suns on Tuesday due to a right calf strain. His absence could significantly impact the team's chances of ending their five-year playoff drought.
Should the Portland Trail Blazers defeat the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, they will have officially ended a five-year playoff drought. But to beat a scrappy Suns team on the road, they're going to need all hands on deck. That includes the team's regular starting power forward, Jerami Grant, who suffered a right calf strain that caused him to miss the Trail Blazers' last seven games of the regular season.
On this specific front, the Trail Blazers don't necessarily have the best of news.
Grant is listed as questionable for Tuesday's play-in game on Portland's final injury report. That's not surprising, but it also suggests that Grant likely won't play unless there's an emergency contingency, given the tricky nature of his soft-tissue injury. Woof:
If Grant doesn't go, veteran forward Matisse Thybulle will likely start and play in Grant's stead. We'll see what lineup the Trail Blazers try to cobble together with the Western Conference No. 7 playoff seed on the line.
