Jerami Grant Cleared to Play Thursday vs. Heat After Achilles Injury

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Heat, marking his return after missing one game. He was previously upgraded from questionable to probable, having missed 15 of the last 17 games due to a left Achilles injury. Grant is on track to play Thursday but might sit out Friday's back-to-back game against Toronto. This season, he's averaged 19.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.5 triples per game. His return is a positive sign for the team.
