The Portland Trail Blazers will host the Houston Rockets on Saturday night in a Western Conference matchup, but is Blazers star Jerami Grant playing in the game? Grant is among the Blazers listed on the NBA injury report as he deals with a face contusion.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant, who missed nine games with a face contusion, returned during Saturday night’s 125-103 loss to the Houston Rockets at the Moda Center. Grant started and played just under 25 minutes, finishing with seven points on 2-of-7 shooting with four rebounds and three turnovers.

Before the injury, Grant's totals weren't meeting expectations following two productive seasons with the Trail Blazers, and the sharp decrease is mostly due to his 38.1 percent field-goal percentage.

Jerami Grant is AVAILABLE to play.
