Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and guard Jerian Grant have reached a new agreement to keep working together until the end of the 2027-28 season, the club announced Saturday.
Grant (1.96 meters, 32 years old) averaged 8.6 points on 43.0% three-pointers, 3.2 assists and a PIR of 10.6 in 41 EuroLeague games last season, helping Panathinaikos reach the Final Four and win the Greek Cup title. Last season, Grant helped the Greens to win the EuroLeague title, the club's seventh crowd and first in 13 years. He had an all-around performance in the Championship Game against Real Madrid, getting 11 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and a PIR of 17. Grant also won the Greek League title with the Greens in 2024.
He joined Panathinaikos from Turk Telekom Ankara, which he guided to the BKT EuroCup Final in 2023. Across 22 games in the competition with Turk Telekom, the American guard averaged 14.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and an 18.7 PIR to earn EuroCup MVP and All-EuroCup First Team honors. A member of a famed basketball family in which his father, uncle and two of his brothers played (and still play) professionally, Jerian played five seasons in the NBA with the New York Knicks, the Chicago Bulls, the Washington Wizards and the Orlando Magic. He spent time in the G League with the Windy City Bulls and the Capital City Go-Go, too. He went on to play for Promitheas Patras in Greece and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Italy before joining Turk Telekom.
"Ι am truly excited! I wanted to be here, the team wanted me here, and the timing was perfect for us to get the deal done. From the moment I arrived, Panathinaikos has treated me like family, which made the decision an easy one. Every time I put the Panathinaikos jersey on it is an honor, and I go out there and show it with my effort on the court," Grant said after the agreement. "The goal is to make history with this club — to achieve success at the highest level and to become a team so remarkable that history will never forget us. We currently have seven stars, and with the team we are putting together there is no reason we cannot have ten. To all the fans, you are now a part of my family, and I am genuinely excited to play in front of you for the next three years."
