Portland Trail Blazers forwards Jerami Grant and Vit Krejci will remain sidelined for Tuesday’s crucial road game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the organization announced.
Grant will miss his second straight game due to the right calf strain he suffered during Portland’s 100-93 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. At Sunday’s pregame press conference ahead of Portland’s matchup against the Washington Wizards, Blazers acting head coach Tiago Splitter told reporters he’s unsure how long Grant will be
out, adding that Grant underwent one MRI and still needs to get more opinions on the injury.
Krejci will miss his ninth straight game as he continues to deal with a left calf contusion.
Here’s the full injury report:
INJURY REPORT 3/31 @ LAC:
OUT
Jerami Grant (R Calf Strain)
Vit Krejci (L Calf Contusion)
Damian Lillard (L Achilles Tendon)
Shaedon Sharpe (L Fibula Stress Reaction)
Chris Youngblood (G League Two-Way)
The Blazers are scheduled to tip off against the Clippers on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Pacific. The Blazers sit in ninth place in the Western Conference and will enter the matchup just 1.5 games behind the Clippers in the eighth seed, so the game carries big implications for the Western Conference Play-In race.
