Jerami Grant is a professional basketball player who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers. Grant was drafted with the 39th overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2015 NBA Draft. After two seasons in Philly, he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016.
With the Thunder, Grant spent three seasons and was a key part of the rotation. During his time in OKC, Grant improved steadily, increasing his scoring numbers each season. His contributions helped the Thunder reach the playoffs in all three seasons he was there.
After three years in Oklahoma City, Grant signed a three-year contract with the Denver Nuggets in 2019. In his lone season with the Nuggets in 2019-2020, Grant put up 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He shot 38.9% from deep on 4.6 attempts per game in Denver, and helped them reach the Western Conference Finals.
Following his productive season with the Nuggets, Grant was traded to the Detroit Pistons in 2020. In his first season with the Pistons, Grant averaged 22.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 35.0% from 3-point range.

Jerami Grant Trade
After two strong seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Jerami Grant was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in June 2022.

The trade gave the Trail Blazers an athletic, versatile forward in Grant as they looked to return to playoff contention. Meanwhile, the Pistons gained multiple draft assets as they continued their rebuild around young players like Cade Cunningham.
