The Atlanta Hawks reportedly aren’t an
active suitor for Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant ahead of the
2022 NBA trade deadline on Feb. 10.

ESPN’s Zach Lowe reported Thursday on
The Lowe Post podcast (via HoopsHype) the Grant-to-Atlanta rumors are
based on outdated information.

“They’ve been linked in recent
reports to Jerami Grant. Personally, I think that’s old intel based
on what I’ve heard and that they are not in on Jerami Grant right
now,” Lowe said.

The first notable domino to fall before the deadline was
Rajon Rondo, who was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Los
Angeles Lakers after Ricky Rubio’s season-ending knee injury.

In the rumor mill, the Ben Simmons saga
in Philadelphia continues to dominate the headlines as the 76ers star
has yet to suit up this season amid a desire for a change of scenery.
Numerous teams have been linked to Simmons, including the Portland
Trail Blazers, who have had difficulty building around Damian
Lillard. The 31-year-old guard has also been the subject of
speculation around a possible move given the franchise’s struggles.

Other names that have been linked to
possible moves include the Sacramento Kings’ Marvin Bagley III along
with Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers.
