#Pistons Dwane Casey says Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk will play tonight vs. #Pelicans.
He says there are no implicit minutes restrictions, but they’ll watch their conditioning. – 5:46 PM

It’s February, so screw it, let’s make some trade deadline predictions.
Won’t get traded: Ben Simmons, Jerami Grant, Harrison Barnes, any notable Pacers.
Will get traded: C.J. McCollum (Pelicans), Eric Gordon (Cavs), John Collins (destination unclear), Kenrich Williams (Bulls). – 2:28 PM

It looks like Jerami Grant will make his return tonight after missing several weeks with a thumb injury. Kelly Olynyk appears to be back, too. – 12:04 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
We have to talk about the Kings. They’re closer to 15th in the West than the play-in and have been HORRIBLE for the majority of the year.
For the love of all that is holy, do not trade assets for Jerami Grant. What are you doing? Why?! Stop! Reverse! – 9:57 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk are not on the injury report for Tuesday vs. #Pelicans, so they both could return. – 8:26 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk aren’t listed on the 7:30 injury report, meaning they could return tomorrow against the Pelicans. Grant hasn’t played since Dec. 10 due to a thumb injury and health and safety protocols. – 7:43 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey said Jerami Grant returning will have a ripple effect with Saddiq Bey going back to the three, Hamidou Diallo returning to the bench and Trey Lyles moving back to the four. “Whoever’s not getting it done creates competition and leverage at that position.” – 1:30 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey on looming return of Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk: “It’s going to be an adjustment and it’s going to affect a lot of people…it’s a trickle-down.” – 1:29 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said Jerami Grant will be back before the trade deadline. He said he talked to Jerami about. Said he’s “paying it no mind.” – 4:28 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Kelly Olynyk has cleared health and safety protocols. He and Jerami Grant (return to competition reconditioning) are out against Cleveland today. Josh Jackson (right lumbar spine spasm) is questionable – 11:27 AM

More on this storyline

The Pistons might be getting back to full strength. After playing most of the season with piecemeal lineups and rotations, the Pistons could be playing their first game with their full starting lineup and reserves since November. Jerami Grant, the team’s leading scorer, and Kelly Olynyk were not on the injury report and appear poised to return to the lineup for Tuesday’s matchup at Little Caesars Arena against the New Orleans Pelicans. -via Detroit News / February 1, 2022
Omari Sanfoka II: Pistons announce they’ve assigned Jerami Grant, along with Luka Garza and Cassius Stanley, to the Motor City Cruise. Great news for Grant as he works his way back from thumb surgery -via Twitter @omarisankofa / January 17, 2022
