Scotto: Several people I’ve spoken to around the league believe the Wizards will look to go big-game hunting with the trade deadline coming up to keep Bradley Beal happy, and they could look to acquire Domantas Sabonis or Jerami Grant.

I’m not sure I’ve seen an easier drawing of a charge this season than when #Pelicans have stood in the paint on Jerami Grant drives. It happened multiple times in the previous game by Herb – 9:16 PM

Pretty awful defensive half. Pels lose Jerami Grant twice late in the second quarter and he splashes two 3s. New Orleans allows 65 points to Detroit, the NBA’s 29th-ranked offense. – 8:14 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

The Pacers weren’t very good in January, but Domantas Sabonis had a dominant month:
22.5 PPG
62.5% FG%
47.8% 3P%
12.5 RPG
7.4 APG
And that’s with five games missed in the back half of January due to a sprained ankle and the protocols. No wonder Indiana is setting a high price. – 8:52 AM

Adding insult to injuries… Pacers are without Domantas Sabonis this week after he entered protocols. They have a coach and a few staff members in protocols.
And now four starters out. But time away will be good for Sabonis’ ankle.

With Sabonis, Turner and Bitadze also out, Pacers will be on their fifth center. It’ll be Terry Taylor and Isaiah Jackson. – 6:12 PM

Domantas Sabonis’ is now OUT for tonight’s game against the #Clippers. He has entered the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, per the team’s latest injury/illness report.
Surely going to get some more Isaiah Jackson and Terry Taylor minutes tonight.

#Pacers injury report: Domantas Sabonis is no longer listed, so he should be good to go against the #Clippers tonight.
Oshae Brissett (sore right ankle) and Goga Bitadze (sore right foot) are both questionable.
All others — Turner, Brogdon, both TJs — remain OUT. – 1:42 PM

More on this storyline
Marc Stein: The Pistons have established a pretty high price for Jerami Grant, they don’t have to trade him right now. So they want a lot. And to this point, nobody’s come close to meeting their valuation for him. So I think when you combine that the offers are somewhat underwhelming to this point, and the fact that Troy Weaver is not in a huge rush to trade him and is the biggest Jerami Grant fan on earth at this point, you know, I think we have to start considering the possibility that there may not be a trade. -via marcstein.substack.com / February 2, 2022
Omari Sanfoka II: Dwane Casey on how Jerami Grant’s handling trade rumors: “He’s older, he’s 27. He’s seen trade rumors before and he’s been a pro. He’s working his behind off now with the COVID situation, reconditioning, and hasn’t had one moment of a negative attitude. He’s been a pro.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa / January 28, 2022
Some rival clubs are now describing what amounts to a split within the organization about keeping or trading Grant … with Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem said to be open to an immediate trade. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 28, 2022
