Detroit Pistons star Jerami Grant might be sidelined right now with a thumb injury, but he's still one of the most sought-after players on the NBA trade market ahead of the February 10th deadline.
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, four teams, in particular, are eyeing Grant:
Several playoff teams are pursuing Pistons star forward Jerami Grant: The Wizards, Knicks, Blazers and Lakers among others, sources said. Grant is sidelined due to a UCL injury in his right thumb but Detroit will have a vast group of suitors for the 27-year-old. Grant, who is eligible for a four-year extension worth up to $112 million this NBA offseason, is one of the most sought-after players this trade season.
Grant is a playoff-caliber player who is stuck in a situation with Detroit that isn't exactly ideal. The franchise is evidently rebuilding while Grant is ready to contribute to a contender immediately. The forward is averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists this season.
All the four NBA teams interested are in need of another offensive piece but as Shams noted, there are even more organizations who are eyeing Grant. If he can come in and play at a high level for a contender, there's no doubt Grant will be getting the hefty payday he's due for in the offseason.
