Memphis Grizzlies Rule Out Jerami Grant vs. Brooklyn Nets

Jerami Grant will not play for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. The team ruled the forward out with a head injury after he was first listed as questionable on the NBA’s injury report.

Grant scored 22 points off the bench Friday in Memphis’ 142-111 win at New Orleans. He will miss the second game of a back-to-back that tips off at 7 p.m. CT at FedExForum.

Ty Jerome is out with right hip soreness. He scored 17 points Friday, second on the team behind Grant.

Update: Memphis also ruled out Zach Edey before tip-off. He had been questionable with left ankle injury management after sitting out Friday’s game with the same designation.

Quinten Post is out in concussion protocol, which he entered after taking an elbow to the face Monday in Toronto. With Edey and Post both unavailable Friday, Memphis started Isaiah Stewart at center.

Scotty Pippen Jr. is out with a lumbar disc herniation, and Richie Saunders is out after right knee surgery.

Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo said after Friday’s win that he did not know who would be available Saturday. He pointed to the team’s depth going into the back-to-back.

Michael Porter Jr. is out for Brooklyn for personal reasons. Mikel Brown Jr. had been probable with an illness and Nolan Traore had been probable with right calf tightness and soreness, but both are now listed as available.

Tyler Bilodeau and Grant Nelson are out on two-way G League designations. Joshua Jefferson and Ben Saraf are out on G League assignments.

The Grizzlies are 8-4. They are 6-0 on the road and 2-4 at home.

Brooklyn is 3-8 and last played Wednesday, a 145-111 win at New Orleans.
