The New York Rangers are playing the Vancouver Canucks tonight and Quentin Grimes, the New York Knicks' wingman, will reportedly be in attendance at Madison Square Garden. As it turns out, he will be there to support a family member.
The 23-year-old is related to 33-year-old NHL player Tyler Myers, who plays for the Canucks. They are half-brothers on their mother's side but did not grow up together. Myers grew up with his father in Canada while Grimes was raised by their mother Tonja Stelly in Texas.
While they ended up pursuing different sports, it seems that being a talented athlete runs in the family.
Their mother will reportedly be in attendance for the Canucks vs. Rangers game and will also be present to watch Grimes when the Knicks take on the Portland Trail Blazers at Madison Square Garden.
While several pairs of brothers have played the same sport and in the same league, Quentin Grimes and Tyler Myers are the first to be represented in the NBA and NHL.
Taking a look at Quentin Grimes' stats so far
Quentin Grimes was a late first-round pick in 2021. He was selected by the LA Clippers but was later traded for Keon Johnson whom the Knicks selected with the 21st pick. Aside from Grimes, the Knicks also received a second-round pick.
Grimes did not play a lot of games during his rookie campaign as he only suited up 46 times in the 2021-22 season. He averaged 17.1 minutes and scored a total of 275 points on 40% shooting. He was, however, a reliable 3-point shooter as he converted on 72 of his 189 attempts from downtown (38%).
In his sophomore season, Grimes saw a lot more action, playing in 71 games and starting in 66. His minutes also jumped to 29.9 per game, becoming a key member of the Knicks rotation. He also upped his scoring, averaging 11.3 points per game.
This year, he has remained a key member of the rotation, although his minutes have dropped to 20.3 per game. His scoring has also dipped, as he is only averaging 6.7 points.
Quentin Grimes is still young and will have plenty of time to develop in the coming years.
