How an injured Donte Grantham has played a part in Clemson's Sweet 16 run | The State

When Donte Grantham signed with Clemson and decided he wanted to play in the ACC he made it his goal to lead the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament.

Now a senior, Grantham is finally doing that, just not in the way he imagined.

Clemson’s best overall player and second-leading scorer was lost for the season to a torn ACL in January, and Tigers coach Brad Brownell said at the time that Clemson would still rely on Grantham to be the leader of the team.

No longer able to contribute on the stat sheet, Grantham has played a role in the Tigers reaching the Sweet 16 for the first time in more than 20 years.
