Beyond the game

Grant is NBA royalty — the son of former NBA player Harvey Grant, the nephew of four-time champion Horace Grant, and the brother of professional players, with basketball in his blood. A Portland native who returned home to play, he also became a minority owner of MLS club D.C. United in 2024.

His on-court identity is versatile scoring and length — a 6-foot-7 forward who scores at three levels, shoots from range, and defends multiple positions, a two-way wing who peaked as a 20-plus-point scorer. On a rebuilding Blazers team, his scoring, veteran experience, and homegrown story make him a valuable frontcourt piece.
