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. The 24-year-old was a part of another deal this offseason, as he was sent to Mavericks in exchange for Tim Hardaway. 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.

Grimes has been sidelined since March 13, as he continues t battle lingering muscle soreness related to the knee injury he suffered back in January. Surgery will not be required, and it sounds like the guard is being extra cautious as he's eligible for an extension prior to next season. He'll finish the campaign with averages of 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Grimes (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Grimes will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a right knee contusion.

Pistons' Quentin Grimes: Struggles from field in return
Rotowire
Grimes (knee) scored six points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes Monday in the Pistons' 114-97 win over the Hornets.
Grimes had missed the Pistons' previous four games due to right knee injury management, but he was thrust into a 20-plus-minute role in his return while Detroit was without a key rotational forward in Ausar Thompson (illness). Grimes failed to take advantage of the ample playing time, with the poor showing from the field and three-point range diminishing the overall impact of his stat line. Grimes could cede a few minutes if Thompson is available to play in Detroit's next game Wednesday versus Toronto.

Pistons' Quentin Grimes: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Grimes (knee) is unavailable for Sunday's game against Orlando, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Grimes missed the first nine games of February due to a right knee sprain, so it's less than ideal that he'll be forced to miss a contest due to an injury to the same knee. However, the Pistons could be exercising an abundance of caution with the 23-year-old trade-deadline pickup, especially with Marcus Sasser (knee) available to fill the void in the backcourt. Grimes' next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Miami.
