Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Strikes for 40 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Jerome recorded 40 points (14-22 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 135-134 overtime loss to New Orleans.
Jerome looked sharp Monday following a one-game absence due to a back issue. He pieced together a spectacular shooting performance and has already reached the 40-point threshold twice in six games so far this season. However, his heroics weren't enough to lead his team to a comeback victory, resulting in the Grizzlies' first loss of the campaign.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Available to play Monday
Rotowire
Jerome (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against New Orleans.
Jerome didn't play in the 136-105 victory over the Kings on Saturday, though he will return from his one-game layoff for Monday's meeting with the Pelicans. With Jerome cleared to play, Cam Spencer will presumably head back to the bench. However, since Scotty Pippen (back) is doubtful, Spencer should see more minutes than usual.

Rotowire
Jerome (back) won't play in Saturday's game versus Sacramento, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Questionable versus Kings
Rotowire
Jerome (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
This isn't the first mention of Jerome's nagging back issue, though it didn't stop him from suiting up for the 124-103 win over the Trail Blazers on Thursday. The 29-year-old has played at an All-Star level in his five regular-season appearances in 2026-27, averaging 25.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists, all career highs, along with 1.0 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest. With that in mind, if Jerome can't get on the floor Saturday versus Sacramento, Cam Spencer and Scotty Pippen (back) are candidates for more minutes.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Jerome (back) is available for Thursday's game at Portland.
Jerome was added to the injury report less than an hour before tipoff, though he was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. The veteran guard has been spectacular through four regular-season games, averaging 29.8 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.8 steals in 31.3 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Scores 31 points Sunday
Rotowire
Jerome posted 31 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 14-14 FT), four rebounds, six assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Sunday's 123-112 win over the Kings.
Jerome continued his impressive start to the season, reaching the 30-point mark for the second time in three games. His perfect 14-for-14 performance at the free-throw line compensated for a difficult night from beyond the arc, while his six assists showed he's more than just a scoring threat out of the backcourt. He's had at least 25 points and five dimes in his first three outings of the season, and while he was widely seen as a breakout candidate for the 2026-27 campaign, these numbers are surpassing even the most optimistic expectations.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Pops for game-high 28 in Friday's win
Rotowire
Jerome racked up 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-108 win over Golden State.
The 28 points led all scorers on the night, as Jerome cooled off only slightly from his dazzling 45-point performance in the Grizzlies' opener. The 29-year-old point guard is taking on a much bigger role in his second season with Memphis now that Ja Morant is out of the picture, and so far he's seizing the opportunity. Jerome won't keep shooting 59.8 percent from the floor, but as long as he's attempting more than 20 shots a game, his fantasy value will skyrocket.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Nets 17 points with three swipes
Rotowire
Jerome contributed 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 22 minutes in Friday's 117-98 preseason win over the Hornets.
Jerome is locked in as Memphis' starting point guard, and he was impressive throughout the preseason, scoring efficiently while flashing his playmaking upside. The 29-year-old could be in for a career year with the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Nets 17 points with four assists
Rotowire
Jerome tallied 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one rebound over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to the Magic.
Jerome scored efficiently, did a nice job distributing the rock, and finished without committing a single turnover. He's looked great as Memphis' starting point guard through these first two preseason games and appears primed for a breakout season.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Dishes out five assists
Rotowire
Jerome registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and one block across 15 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Jerome started at point guard and did a good job running Memphis' offense, leading the team with five assists while reaching double figures on only eight shots. He committed three turnovers but otherwise made good use of his limited playing time before sitting out the second half. Jerome should have an opportunity to handle significant playmaking responsibilities in Memphis' backcourt, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's the Grizzlies' starting point guard once the 2026-27 regular season begins.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Out for season finale
Rotowire
Jerome (ankle) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Rockets.
Jerome will end the 2025-26 season having missed 11 games in a row. He didn't make his season debut until Jan. 31 and didn't play more than three consecutive games all year. Still, when he took the floor, he played well. Across his 15 appearances, the guard averaged 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 22.6 minutes.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Out again versus Toronto
Rotowire
Jerome (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game in Toronto.
Jerome has missed the last five games because of a sprained left ankle. With Memphis not going anywhere near the playoffs, it's unknown if he will be back on the floor again this season. With Cam Spencer (back) also out Friday, Javon Small, Walter Clayton and Jahmai Mashack should absorb most of the minutes in the backcourt.

Rotowire
Jerome (ankle) won't play Friday versus the Rockets.
Jerome is set to sit out his second straight game, but he may be able to get back on the court for Saturday's matchup with the Bulls. Javon Small will have a chance for another start Friday with Jerome unavailable, while Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer should see a bump in minutes.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Jerome (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Jerome sat out Saturday's loss to Charlotte -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right calf injury management. However, he's set to return to action Monday. Over six March appearances, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 20.2 points, 6.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest. His return to the lineup will likely push Walter Clayton back to the second unit.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Unlikely to play Saturday
Rotowire
Jerome (calf) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Jerome has played in each of the Grizzlies' last two games, though he'll likely sit out of Saturday's contest while managing a right calf injury that cost him the first half of the 2025-26 regular season. Javon Small and Cam Spencer are poised for larger roles, assuming Jerome is ruled out.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Jerome generated 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 125-118 win over Denver.
Jerome was highly efficient Wednesday and knocked on the door of his first career triple-double. The 28-year-old guard turned the ball over just once as well. While he hasn't played more than 25 minutes in a game this season, Jerome has been an excellent fantasy producer, averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 13 games played.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Tops 20 points again
Rotowire
Jerome ended with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.
Jerome tallied at least 20 points for the fourth time in his past five games, continuing his strong per-minute production. While his per-game numbers have been more than adequate, he has appeared in only seven games in the past month despite being relatively healthy. Given the sporadic nature of his role, Jerome should be viewed as an elite streaming candidate when he is available.
