Jerami Grant has had a strong start to the new NBA season for the Portland Trail Blazers, who will be in action on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. In 13 games played thus far, the 6-foot-7 forward has averaged 18.3 points on 46.4% shooting, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.8 minutes per contest. Grant is also knocking down 2.1 triples per game on a highly efficient 40.3% clip.
Grant’s hot start came to a halt on Tuesday, though, as the Blazers suffered a 127-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Grant missed his first game of the season due to an illness — one that has cast doubt on his status for Wednesday’s matchup against the Bulls.
