Jerami Grant, the Detroit Pistons’ leading scorer, is out indefinitely after tearing ligaments in his right thumb, according to a report from The Athletic. If you’re wondering how the season can get worse for a team with the worst record in the NBA, one of the most anemic offenses in the league, and currently on an 11-game losing streak ... well, it just did.
Previous injuries have sidelined players around six weeks after surgery. There is no indication if surgery will be required or how long Grant will be sidelined at this point. If he does miss around six weeks, he will be back just prior to the NBA’s trade deadline on Feb.
