AX Armani Exchange Milan and Jerian Grant went separate ways on a mutual decision, according to BasketNews sources.
The 29-year-old guard had one more year on his contract, which was penned last summer.
He averaged 2.4 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, and 1.4 PIR over 30 games (10.5 minutes) in his debut Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season.
Grant played his best EuroLeague match against the champions Anadolu Efes Istanbul in Game 3 of the quarterfinal series. Then he posted 11 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 15 PIR.
The American player landed in Milan after a successful stint with Promitheas Patras. Prior to that, he bounced around the NBA and G League. Grant was a member of the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, and Washington Wizards.
The 15th overall pick in the 2015 Draft holds NBA career averages of 6.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists throughout 279 games.
Jerian Grant comes from a family of basketball players. His father is a former NBA player Harvey Grant, who spent 11 years in the league. Harvey's twin brother Horace Grant played 17 seasons in the NBA, won four championships, and is a one-time All-Star.
Jerian Grant has two brothers, who are professional basketball players too. The youngest brother Jerami Grant plays for the Detroit Pistons, while Jerai Grant represents Promitheas Patras.
