Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Back to bench role
Rotowire
Grimes is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
As expected, Grimes will return to the bench since Kyrie Irving is back from a one-game absence. Grimes is averaging 4.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game in five appearances off the bench this month, so he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside if he's not starting.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Delivers 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Grimes notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Jazz.
Grimes got the start in the backcourt alongside Luka Doncic due to the absence of Kyrie Irving (shoulder), and Grimes delivered a strong showing despite the outcome of the game. This was Grimes' best performance by a wide margin in 2024-25, but his upside will be strictly tied to the health of Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks' next game is against the Spurs on Saturday, and Grimes is likely to remain in the starting lineup if Irving is not ready to return to action.
Grimes will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) out, the 24-year-old Grimes will get the spot start. Through 10 regular-season outings, Grimes has averaged 3.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.4 assists across 13.7 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Solid contribution off bench
Rotowire
Grimes put up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.
Grimes has improved his efficiency since the start of the season, shooting 41.7 percent from beyond the arc over his last five contests. However, his role seems to largely be dependent on whether he can cash in a triple (15.0 minutes, 7.0 points per game when he makes a three compared to 10.8 minutes, 1.4 points per game when he does not make one). If Grimes can improve his offensive consistency, he will be able to establish a larger role for himself moving forward.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Makes trio of threes
Rotowire
Grimes ended with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 win over Minnesota.
Grimes entered Tuesday's contest having missed his first three three-point attempts of the season. The 24-year-old has the upside to become a consistent shooter in the Mavericks' offense, but his role will be inconsistent if his shot isn't falling.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Starting against Milwaukee
Rotowire
Grimes is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks.
Grimes will get the nod in the starting lineup for the preseason finale as the Mavericks are tweaking their first unit once again. He'll play alongside Kyrie Irving in the backcourt.
Grimes finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Clippers.
Grimes led all scorers in the loss, continuing to make a case for meaningful minutes this season. Although he will come off the bench behind Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, there could come a time when Grimes is actually competing with Klay Thompson for playing time. Grimes isn't worth drafting in standard formats at this stage, but he is someone to monitor early in the season, along with Jaden Hardy.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Feels 100 percent
Rotowire
Grimes (knee) said Tuesday that he is "definitely 100 percent" ahead of Dallas' training camp, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Due to a right knee sprain he suffered in January, Grimes played in only six games with Detroit after the Pistons acquired him via trade Feb. 8.

Grimes appeared in 51 regular-season games last season with the Knicks and Pistons, averaging 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 20.1 minutes.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Traded to Dallas
Rotowire
The Pistons traded Grimes (knee) to the Mavericks on Friday in exchange for Tim Hardaway and three second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Grimes was traded from New York to Detroit in February, but he made just six appearances with his new team after being shut down due to a right knee injury. Over 51 total appearances during the regular season last year, he averaged 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game. He'll attempt to carve out a role off the bench in Dallas after the team cleared some cap space by trading Hardaway. However, Grimes could struggle to be a consistent contributor for last year's Western Conference champions.
