Granger spent last season with Baskonia, where he averaged 7.3 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds per game. The player spent the majority of his career in Spain but he also played in Turkey and Germany. 

Italian side Reyer Venezia is restructuring its roster after winning Italian league titles in the 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 seasons, and an Italian Cup in 2020. 

Granger is going to replace Jordan Theodore, who left the club at the end of the season. Venezia has also lost Stefano Tonut, who joined Olimpia Milan on a multi-year deal. 

Reyer Venezia is expected to be one of the major contenders for the EuroCup title next season. 

Granger won an ACB title with Baskonia back in 2020. In the next few days, Reyer Venezia is also expected to announce the arrival of Italian big man Amedeo Tessitori from Virtus Bologna, sources have told BasketNews.
