Grant, the brother of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant, spent four years in Notre Dame. Come the 2015 NBA Draft, he was selected 19th overall by the Washington Wizards. On draft night, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks then finally to the Knicks in exchange for Tim Hardaway Jr.
After spending one season with the Knicks, Grant was traded to the Bulls along with Jose Calderón and Robin Lopez for Derrick Rose. His second season with the Bulls was his best as he averaged 8.4 points, 4.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds across 22.8 minutes. His best game came in April 2017 against the Magic where he dropped 17 points and a career-high 11 assists.
Last year, he played 60 games for the Magic and averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.6 rebounds in 15.7 minutes. He did not receive a qualifying offer from the Magic, making him a restricted free agent.
