Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant, who missed nine games with a face contusion, returned during Saturday night’s 125-103 loss to the Houston Rockets at the Moda Center. Grant started and played just under 25 minutes, finishing with seven points on 2-of-7 shooting with four rebounds and three turnovers.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in a position to be a big-time seller at the trade deadline. In order for them to get the biggest possible return for those guys, those guys have to play well over the next couple of weeks.
