Ty Jerome Injury News & Updates

Jerome (calf) will be held out of games for at least 6-to-9 weeks.

Jerome continues to rehab from a high-grade right calf strain that he suffered during the preseason. His initial timeline to return was four weeks, but the seventh-year pro needs more time to recover, and his updated timeline means he's unlikely to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut until the new year. Vince Williams and Cam Spencer will continue to see more playing time in the absences of Jerome, Ja Morant (calf) and Scotty Pippen (toe).

Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Jerome suffered a high-grade right calf strain during the preseason and isn't ready to return to game action. The Grizzlies have yet to provide a timetable for his return, so the 28-year-old guard can be considered week-to-week until the team provides another update on his recovery. With Jerome, Ja Morant (calf) and Javon Small (toe) all sidelined, Cam Spencer, Vince Williams, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jahmai Mashack are all candidates for increased playing time.

The Grizzlies announced Monday that Jerome (calf) will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Jerome has been diagnosed with a high-grade calf strain, which will delay the start of his season. The 28-year-old guard will likely be sidelined until at least mid-November. With Scotty Pippen (toe) also beginning the year injured, it looks like the backup point guard job will belong to Javon Small early on.

Jerome (calf) will be further evaluated this weekend, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Jerome sustained a right calf injury during Friday's preseason matchup against the Heat and exited after logging just four minutes. The guard, who signed a three-year deal with the Grizzlies this offseason, will have his health closely monitored heading into the regular season given Ja Morant (ankle) is still ramping up and Scotty Pippen (toe) is sidelined for three months.

Jerome (calf) will not return to Friday's exhibition versus Miami.

Jerome tweaked his right calf early in the first quarter and will end his evening with two rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers to his credit over four minutes. The Grizzlies open their season on October 22 against the Pelicans, and for now, Jerome should be considered questionable for that one.

Jerome exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right lower-leg injury in the first quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Heat, Cyro Asseo of HoopsHype reports.

Jerome grabbed at his lower leg and limped to the locker room with 7:52 remaining in the opening quarter. If the guard is unable to return, Cam Spencer and Javon Small are candidates for an uptick in minutes the rest of the way.

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Jerome will be ramped up in Friday's preseason game against the Heat, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Jerome is set to return to action after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Hornets.

Jerome is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Javon Small will instead get the nod as the starting point guard Wednesday. It's unclear if this is a maintenance day for Jerome, who's certainly ahead of Small on the depth chart, or if the Grizzlies simply want a look at a different first unit.

Jerome (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Hawks.

After missing Wednesday's preseason game against the Celtics for rest purposes, Jerome will be in the first unit.

Jerome is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's exhibition versus Boston.

Jerome looked good in the preseason opener, so he should still be in the rotation Wednesday evening. Tuomas Iisalo will give the rookie, Javon Small the starting nod for this one, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do with the opportunity.

The 28-year-old point guard signed a three-year, $27.7 million deal with the club following a career-best year with the Cavaliers in 2024-25, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 19.9 minutes per game in 70 regular-season outings (three starts).

Jerome is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left knee soreness.

Jerome contributed 25 points during Tuesday's 122-111 victory over the Trail Blazers, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to build off that game. Even if he's available, he's the backup point guard behind Darius Garland, and with Donovan Mitchell (groin) also set to return, Jerome's playing time will be minimal, reducing his fantasy appeal considerably.

Jerome contributed 25 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 122-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

With Donovan Mitchell (groin) sitting this game out, Jerome made the most of his opportunity.

Jerome failed to find the mark from long range off the bench Wednesday, but he stepped up in the playmaking department with a team-high six assists in the absence of Darius Garland (rest). With Garland likely to return in Friday's matchup with Phoenix, Jerome may not spend as much time with the ball in his hands in that one. Jerome has averaged 12.9 points, 3.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes across his last nine outings.

Jerome (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against Memphis.

The 24th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Jerome is playing for his fourth team in six seasons, but he's emerged as a key part of the second unit for the league-leading Cavaliers.

Jerome closed Sunday's 133-129 overtime win over the Trail Blazers with 25 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and six steals over 35 minutes.

Jerome has been red-hot as of late, recording 20 or more points in three of his last four appearances.

Jerome continues to function as a microwave scorer, showing once again that he's able to heat up in a hurry by scoring 26 points in just 23 minutes. Sunday also marked his eighth game of the season with at least 20 points, six of which have come in a reserve capacity. The 27-year-old has turned in double-digit scoring figures in nine of his last 11 games, during which he's averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in only 22.5 minutes while shooting 56.1 percent from the field.

Jerome (calf) played 17 minutes and finished with six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal in Thursday's 110-97 win over the Nets.

After missing the Cavaliers' final game before the All-Star break due to a calf strain, Jerome was back in action to begin the second half of the season. However, after averaging 24.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances, Jerome saw his playing time take a hit Thursday. The Cavaliers also welcomed back Isaac Okoro (shoulder) from a 14-game absence and handed him 17 minutes, leaving less playing time to go around for Cleveland's other reserves. Dean Wade (knee) looks poised to return from a long absence of his own Friday against the Knicks, so Jerome could struggle to recapture a consistent 20-plus-minute role now that the Cavaliers have all their key rotation players back in the fold.

Jerome (calf) is available for Thursday's matchup with Brooklyn, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jerome missed Cleveland's last game before the All-Star break due to his calf injury, but had adequate time to recover and is ready to go Thursday. On the season, Jerome is averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 19.1 minutes.

Jerome (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Following a one-game absence due to a calf strain in Cleveland's last game before the All-Star break, Jerome remains in jeopardy of sitting out once again Thursday.

Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jerome will snap a streak of 14 straight appearances, during which he averaged 14.6 points, 3.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.1 minutes per game. In his absence, Craig Porter and Jaylon Tyson are candidates for increased roles.

Jerome (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Jerome is in jeopardy of sitting out against Toronto due to right calf soreness. Since Wednesday marks Cleveland's final outing prior to the All-Stat break, the team could opt to exercise caution with the sharpshooter. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter would likely pick up extra minutes if Jerome can't play.

Jerome finished with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 134-124 victory over the Wizards.

Jerome provided a nice lift off the Cleveland bench in Friday's outing, leading all second unit players in scoring to go along with a bench-high-tying rebound total in a winning effort. Jerome has hauled in five or more rebounds in three outings this season, posting his first game with at least 10 points and five boards.

Jerome dropped 20 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.

Jerome once again paced the second unit as both a scorer and playmaker with his second straight game logging 20 points and six or more assists. He's been particularly impressive of late, now averaging 18.8 points and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 59.7 percent from the field over his last five outings. Although he's certainly benefitting from Caris LeVert's (wrist) injury, it's possible that Jerome has done enough over the past week to command a larger role in head coach Kenny Atkinson's offense even once LeVert, who's currently listed as day-to-day, returns.

Jerome posted 20 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 126-106 win over the Heat.

The 27-year-old saw a bump in minutes with Isaac Okoro (shoulder), Caris LeVert (wrist) and Sam Merrill (illness) all on the shelf Wednesday. Jerome made the most of his uptick in playing time, leading the team in assists while delivering a 20-point performance off the bench. The sixth-year pro has scored 15-plus points in four of his last five outings, and in that five-game span, he has averaged 18.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting 45.2 percent from downtown in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Jerome finished with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 110-91 victory over Detroit.

Jerome did a nice job in providing energy over his bench-high-tying minute total Monday, leading all Cavaliers bench players in scoring and assists while finishing as one of four players with 15 or more points. Jerome has recorded 15 or more points in nine outings this season, including in four of his last six appearances.

Jerome closed Friday's 132-129 loss to the 76ers with 33 points (11-14 FG, 8-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes.

Jerome went off from Cleveland's second unit Friday, pouring in a career-high 33 points while scorching the nets from deep in the absence of sixth man Caris LeVert (wrist). Jerome continues to emerge as a legitimate weapon in the Cavaliers' second unit this season, averaging 14.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.1 threes while shooting 59.4 percent from downtown over his last nine games. The 27-year-old sharpshooter is likely to cool down at some point, but he's worth streaming in fantasy leagues while he's hot and LeVert remains sidelined.

Jerome logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to the Rockets.

Jerome has consistently been a spark plug for the second unit this year, and Wednesday's outing was no different. He scored his highest points total since November with trademark efficiency, and matched his second-highest steals mark of the year while he was at it. His next outing comes Friday against the 76ers.

Jerome (illness) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Thunder.

Jerome missed the last two games for the Cavaliers while dealing with an illness. The 27-year-old guard will be a welcome addition back to the lineup for Cleveland, as he has played well off the bench this season, averaging 10.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 49.8 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from deep.

Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Jerome is at risk of missing his third straight game with an illness, but he'll presumably see how he feels Thursday before the Cavaliers update his status. Should the 27-year-old sharpshooter sit out another contest, veteran swingman Caris LeVert should continue operating as Cleveland's clear-cut sixth man off the bench against Oklahoma City.

Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Jerome will remain on the shelf for a second consecutive contest due to a lingering illness.

Jerome is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.

Jerome has been a reliable option off the bench for the Cavaliers backcourt, but he's in danger of missing a game for the first time since Dec. 3. Jerome is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over his last 10 games. The doubtful tag suggests he's very unlikely to suit up Sunday.

Jerome accumulated eight points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 victory over the Hornets.

Jerome provided a nice boost off the bench Sunday, swiping a team-high steals total while contributing in every other area of the game and concluding two points short of the double-digit mark.

He has been a nice spark off the bench as of late, tallying eight or more points in three of his last four outings as part of the second unit.

Jerome made the most of his 16 minutes off the bench and provided a lift to the second unit while making his presence felt on both ends of the court.

Jerome ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 win over the Nuggets.

Jerome returned Thursday after missing Cleveland's previous game due to illness, playing in limited time off the bench while contributing in his time on the court. Jerome has been a nice contributor on the Cavaliers' second unit this season and he should return to form as he gets back to 100 percent over the next few games.

Jerome (illness) is available for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jerome has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Cleveland's previous contest due to an illness. Jerome is averaging 15.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 rebounds in 20.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

Jerome will miss his first game of the season Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to an illness. Craig Porter and Sam Merrill are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Jerome's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Denver.

Jerome (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Jerome played 11 minutes against the Celtics on Sunday and finished with six points and one assist, but it appears the sixth-year guard is working through an illness. Craig Porter, Caris LeVert and Sam Merrill would see a slit uptick in playing time if Jerome wasn't able to play Tuesday. Jerome has failed to reach double-digit points in his last three outings after doing so in the four games prior.

Jerome recorded 26 points (9-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 victory over the Raptors.

Jerome barely saw the floor for the Cavaliers in the 2023-24 season, but there's no question the floor general is making his presence felt now that he's completely healthy. This was the third time he surpassed the 20-point mark over his last four appearances, and he remains a valuable contributor in the backcourt for the Cavaliers. Jerome is averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in 13 outings since the beginning of November.

Jerome will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Jerome got his second start of the year while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) were inactive, and once again boosted Cleveland offensively while burying a game-best total from three and ending with a team-high scoring total. Jerome set a new season high in threes made as well as points scored, notching his third outing of the year with at least 20 points. Jermone has been strong from deep over his last few games, connecting on at least four threes in two of his last three contests. 

Jerome is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New Orleans while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) rest, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Jerome filled in admirably for Donovan Mitchell (rest) and was a obvious threat from the three-point line on the way to a season-high 24 points. The Virginia product also dished out eight dimes, surpassing his previous best mark of six assists Nov. 11 against Chicago. Expect this type of production to be short lived for Jerome, as he figures to return to a bench role after giving Mitchell a quick breather.

Jerome will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Hornets.

With Donovan Mitchell resting Sunday, Jerome will receive his first start of the year Sunday. The 27-year-old has averaged 9.8 points, 3.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 16.5 minutes per game over 14 regular-season outings.

Jerome is expected to start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jerome supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.

Jerome has been highly productive off the bench so far, and this was his seventh game with at least 10 points across 12 regular-season appearances. Jerome is averaging 9.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game off the bench in seven contests this month, and these numbers should be good enough to keep him as a decent streaming option in most formats.

Jerome chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 win over the Pelicans.

Jerome continues to operate as Cleveland's backup point guard to Darius Garland. Across nine appearances coming off the bench this season, Jerome is averaging 9.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 15.2 minutes. The 27-year-old guard has also displayed impressive efficiency, shooting 58.5 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from three.

Jerome closed Monday's 116-114 victory over the Bucks with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one assist and two steals over 19 minutes.

With Dean Wade (illness) and Caris LeVert (knee) joining Max Strus (ankle) on the sidelines, Jerome had a clear path to a large role off the bench, but he failed to deliver strong production. Jerome's role has been a bit sporadic -- he's played at least 15 minutes in six of eight appearances but saw less than 10 in his other two outings. However, he appears to be the top point guard off the bench behind Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland to open the campaign, especially when LeVert is unavailable.

Jerome finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 victory over the Wizards.

Jerome has scored at least 13 points in three straight games to start the season. After missing most of last season due to injury, Jerome has carved out a consistent backup role in Cleveland's backcourt. While his role remains safe, Jerome isn't expected to continue scoring at this rate, as he's shooting an unsustainable 73.7 percent from the field to begin the campaign.

Jerome won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Pistons.

With Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Caris LeVert all unavailable, Jerome drew a spot start last Thursday, posting 15 points and eight assists in 23 minutes during a preseason loss to the Pacers. However, the Cavaliers are rolling our their usual starting lineup Wednesday, so Jerome will operate off the bench.

Jerome delivered 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes in Thursday's 129-117 preseason loss to the Pacers.

The Cavaliers have two players capable of running the offense in the starting unit in Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Darius Garland (rest), but having Jerome as an insurance policy off the bench wouldn't be the worst thing. Jerome barely played in 2023-24 due to an ankle injury but could compete for a spot on the Opening Night roster if he keeps this up in the remaining preseason contests.

Jerome is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.

The Cavaliers will rest most of their would-be starters for this contest, and since that includes the starting backcourt duo of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, Jerome will get the nod as part of the starting unit. Jerome will start alongside rookie Jaylon Tyson in the backcourt.

Cavaliers President Koby Altman said Friday that Jerome is healthy ahead of training camp, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Jerome missed nearly the entire 2023-24 season, during which he played only two regular-season games due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. The 27-year-old has been impressive during workouts according to Altman, and Jerome could give himself a chance to become a major contributor in the Cavaliers' rotation.

Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.

Jerome hasn't played since the Cavaliers' second game of the season Oct. 27, when he suffered a right ankle impingement/sprain in a 108-105 loss to the Thunder. After he failed to move past the injury through rest and rehab, Jerome underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on the ankle Jan. 23, but updates have been scarce regarding where the veteran guard currently stands in his recovery from the procedure. Consider Jerome week-to-week until the Cavaliers provide an update on his status.

Jerome underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle on January 23 and he remains out indefinitely, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Jerome has only managed to suit up for a total of two games this season due to a nagging ankle injury, and after months of rehab with little progress it was determined that surgery would be the best course of action to put him back on the right track. He is currently without an official timetable to return, so Jerome can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Jerome (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle sprain. The Cavaliers haven't provided many updates regarding where he stands in his recovery since he suffered the injury, so the veteran guard will presumably miss additional contests beyond Wednesday.

Jerome (ankle) will not play Wednesday against Orlando.

Jerome hasn't taken the court since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle sprain.

Jerome finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and four rebounds over 22 minutes in Monday's 120-89 preseason win over Ra'anana.

Jerome led all Cavaliers starters in scoring and distributing, posting team-high marks of 15 points along with six assists in just 22 minutes in the starting lineup. Jermone set a preseason-high in scoring during Monday's blowout win, tying a preseason-best assist total in an average of 18.3 minutes per game over the first three exhibition contests.

Jerome will start Monday's exhibition versus Maccabi, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

With Cleveland's usual starters unavailable, Jerome will get the start at point guard. He'll be joined by Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert, Dean Wade and Damian Jones in the first unit.

The Cavaliers have signed Jerome to a two-year, $5 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Jerome spent the 2022-23 season with the Warriors but was merely a depth piece, logging 45 appearances (two starts) and averaging 6.9 points per game while being left out of the team's playoff roster. He's expected to play a bench role with the Cavaliers, a bonafide contender in the Eastern Conference.

Jerome (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 versus the Kings.

Even though he's clear of the injury report, don't expect to see Jerome on the floor during the postseason unless backcourt injuries mount. Jerome appeared in just one NBA contest after March 11, logging two minutes in that showing.

Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Portland.

Jerome is set to spend his second straight game on the sidelines, but with Stephen Curry (hip) expected to play, Jerome wouldn't have been a major part of the rotation, anyway.

Jerome is out for Friday's game versus the Kings due to an illness.

Jerome has only played two minutes since March 11, so his absence is unlikely to affect the Warriors' rotation. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Portland.

Jerome will be active for the Warriors' final three games of the regular season but won't be eligible to play in the postseason, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Jerome remains signed to a two-way contract and doesn't look like he'll be converted to a standard NBA deal before the end of the league year, but he'll at least be able to finish the regular season on the court. The fourth-year guard last played for the Warriors on March 11, sitting out each of the team's subsequent 11 contests while he closed in on his allotted 50 active games as a two-way player. Since he's been active 47 times this season, he'll be able to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Friday's game in Sacramento and Sunday's game in Portland before being shut down. Jerome will become a restricted free agent this summer, but the Warriors could look to retain him on a standard NBA deal if the price is right.

Jerome wasn't available to play in Monday's 123-112 win over the Suns, and he won't be eligible to suit up for the Warriors until he has his two-way contract to an NBA deal, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Warriors' two two-way players -- Jerome and Anthony Lamb -- are in limbo at the moment now that both have been active for the maximum 50 games with the NBA team this season. After Golden State elected not to re-sign Lester Quinones after his 10-day deal expired, the team has an opening on the 15-man roster, which will more than likely be reserved for one of Lamb or Jerome. The other, however, will have to wait for Golden State to waive another player before being eligible to play again.

Jerome (not injury related) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Jerome will be kept inactive with Stephen Curry (lower leg) back in the mix. This will keep Jerome at 45 NBA games played, and he's eligible to play in only 50 under his current two-way contract.

Jerome registered 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-111 loss to the Lakers.

Jerome was the Warriors' second-leading scorer Thursday, finishing just two points behind team leader Klay Thompson. Jerome saw more court time than any other player in the game, logging 30 minutes for just the fourth time this season. He's averaged 19.3 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 triples in those contests, so there's certainly reason to see potential, though Jerome came into Thursday averaging just 18.0 minutes over his previous five contests despite the absence of Stephen Curry (lower leg) in each of those games.

Jerome amassed six points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 19 minutes during Monday's 141-114 victory over the Thunder.

After falling out of the rotation in late January, Jerome has appeared in the last three games as a serviceable reserve point guard behind Jordan Poole, who is starting in place of Stephen Curry (lower leg). Jerome also saw minutes before Curry's leg injury, so he may still claim a role once Curry is back, though it's not something to count on. Jerome still doesn't produce enough to crack fantasy relevance in most formats, averaging 7.0 points, 2.7 assists and 1.6 rebounds over 17.8 minutes per game on the season.

Jerome posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Friday's 120-114 victory over the Cavaliers.

Jerome made the most of his opportunities in Friday's start, shooting with efficiency from the field while also finding his teammates for buckets. This was a rare outburst of points from the Virginia product, and it marks his best scoring night of the 2022-23 campaign.

Jerome is starting at point guard in Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

The Warriors are resting their regular starters, so Jerome is set to see a much bigger workload than usual. He recorded four points, three rebounds and two assists across 23.6 minutes in his only other start this season.

Jerome recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 victory over the Jazz.

The team has played several different combinations while dealing with multiple injuries, and although Jerome came off the bench in Wednesday's win, Jerome made a lasting impact, especially in the fourth quarter. Over the past five games, Jerome has averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds.

Jerome totaled 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 123-109 victory over the Grizzlies.

Jerome came off the bench once again during Sunday's Christmas Day tilt, but he led the Warriors' bench players in scoring while converting 66.7 percent of his field-goal attempts. He's had fairly well-rounded production over his last five appearances and has averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game during that time.

Jerome recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 143-113 loss to the Nets.

The Warriors fell behind by a significant margin once again Wednesday, which allowed Jerome to see increased run for the shorthanded club. He topped 20 minutes of playing time for a second consecutive game and scored in double figures once again while also posting a season-high mark in assists. Over his last five appearances, Jerome has averaged 9.0 points, 3.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.

Jerome notched 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three assists in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-94 loss to the Knicks.

Jerome put up double figures for just the second time in 16 contests this season, and he received more playing time Tuesday with Stephen Curry (shoulder), Andrew Wiggins (groin) and Donte DiVincenzo (illness) out of commission. The Virginia product has posted nine or more points and dished out three or more assists in three straight appearances.

Jerome will come off the bench Saturday against the Celtics, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

With the Warriors' regulars, minus Andrew Wiggins (groin), back, Jerome will head back to the bench after starting Wednesday's contest. He's no longer a regular part of the rotation.

Jerome is in the starting lineup Wednesday against Utah, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Jerome will make his first start of the season for the Warriors, who are without Stephen Curry (ankle), Andrew Wiggins (groin) and Draymond Green (hip) on Wednesday. Jerome has tallied 5.7 points and 1.9 assists across 10 previous appearances this year.

Jerome had 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Jerome stepped into a larger role Friday as the Warriors gave their stars the night off. We have seen flashes from Jerome in the past but at this point, he is simply too buried on the depth chart to have any chance at putting up sustainable value. As a point of reference, prior to this game, Jerome had failed to exceed 16 minutes all season.

Jerome has signed a two-way contract with the Warriors.

Jerome figures to splits his time between the NBA and G League Warriors in 2022-23. While he may not receive consistent playing time at the top level, he should be featured when in the G League and he could occasionally rack up minutes when players rest or miss time.

The Warriors signed Jerome on Tuesday, Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reports.

Jerome was traded to the Rockets by the Thunder in a multi-player trade, but he was let go by Houston in the aftermath of the deal. As expected, he'll join the Warriors for training camp, but he's unlikely to make the talented roster, so it's possible he winds up in the G League to start the 2022-23 campaign. The 2019 first-round pick appeared in 48 games for Oklahoma City last year and averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game.

The Rockets waived Jerome on Saturday,Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jerome has been waived as expected after being traded from the Thunder on Thursday. Jerome averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16.7 minutes over 48 games in OKC last season.

Jerome, along with three other players, have been traded to the Rockets in exchange for four players, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Jerome will begin his 2022-23 season playing for Houston after just finishing his third season in the NBA with the Thunder. The 25-year-old guard spent two seasons with Oklahoma City, where he averaged 8.9 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals during 20.3 minutes of action. Expect Jerome to likely see depth minutes behind Kevin Porter at point guard.

Jerome (groin) won't participate in Oklahoma City's training camp, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Jerome underwent successful surgery to address a sports hernia at the beginning of March, ending his 2021-22 campaign. He wasn't expected to miss much time, so his absence from training camp is a bit of a surprise. Per Young, the team and Jerome's reps are working collaboratively to determine the guard's next steps, suggesting he may be on the move before the 2022-23 season starts.

Jerome (groin) won't participate in Oklahoma City's training camp, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Jerome underwent successful surgery to address a sports hernia at the beginning of March, ending his 2021-22 campaign. He wasn't expected to miss a significant amount of time, so his absence from training camp comes as a bit of a surprise. Per Young, the team and Jerome's reps are working collaboratively to determine the guard's next steps, suggesting he may be on the move before the start of the 2022-23 season.

Jerome underwent successful surgery to address a sports hernia Tuesday and will miss the rest of the 2021-22 season, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Jerome has missed the past seven games and was set to sit again for the back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's instead been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. The 24-year-old appeared in 48 games this season and averaged 7.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 16.7 minutes while shooting 37.8 percent from the field. Jerome is expected to be cleared for full basketball activities in about eight weeks.

Jerome (hip) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Tuesday marks the front end of a back-to-back set for the Thunder, and with the team providing no indication that Jerome's return is imminent as he works back from a hip injury that dates back to before the All-Star break, he can probably be ruled out for Wednesday's game in Minnesota, too. Jerome's ongoing absence has helped clear the way for Theo Maledon and Vit Krejci to handle regular roles as the Thunder's main backup guards.

Jerome (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Jerome continues to deal with left hip soreness and will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game. Theo Maledon and Vit Krejci should be in line for additional run once again.

Jerome (hip) won't play Friday against the Timberwolves.

It will be the sixth consecutive absence for Jerome due to left hip soreness. Theo Maledon and Vit Krejci should continue to have increased roles given the Thunder's lengthy injury report.

Jerome (hip) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Jerome will miss a fifth straight game due to a sore hip. The Thunder have an extensive injury report heading into Wednesday, so it'll be a skeleton crew of options surrounding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Jerome (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Jerome will be sidelined for a fourth straight game due to left hip soreness. Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Kenrich Williams (knee) also remain out, so Tre Mann, Aaron Wiggins and Aleksej Pokusevski should continue to see an uptick in playing time.

Jerome (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Pacers.

Jerome will miss back-to-back games following the All-Star break and his third straight overall. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Kenrich Williams (knee) both out as well, the Thunder will likely turn to Tre Mann, Aaron Wiggins and Aleksej Pokusevski for increased playing time once again.

Jerome (hip) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The reserve guard missed the final game before the break due to soreness in his left hip, and he's still battling the issue. The Thunder haven't provided a timetable, but with a back-to-back on tap, Jerome will likely miss Friday's game at Indiana, as well.

Jerome is out for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs due to left hip soreness.

Jerome will sit out the final game before the All-Star break -- his first absence since Jan. 9. With plenty of other players sidelined for the Thunder, many depth options should see increased run.

Jerome will come off the bench Monday against the Warriors, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Jerome had six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and two assists in 27 minutes during a start Saturday versus Sacramento, and he'll move to the bench with Luguentz Dort (nose) back in the lineup. Jerome has averaged 9.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in his past five games off the bench.

Jerome will start Saturday's game against the Kings, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Jerome gets the nod with Luguentz Dort (face) sidelined. In three prior starts, he's averaged 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes.

Jerome finished Friday's 96-93 win over the Trail Blazers with 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 23 minutes.

Jerome continues to play a consistent role as the first point guard off the bench. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined through at least the All-Star break, Jerome's workload should be secure for the time being. Over his last 12 games, the Virginia product is posting 7.8 points, 3.0 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 threes, so he remains a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

Jerome will come off the bench Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Jerome will head back to the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander clearing protocols. In 25 games as a reserve, he's averaged 6.1 points, 1.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes.

Jerome had 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 95-86 loss to Dallas.

Jerome started for the third time this season and looked good even if he needed 13 field-goal attempts just to deliver 12 points. The former Virginia standout has now scored in double digits in three appearances in a row, and he should experience an uptick on his short-term upside with both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (COVID-19) and Luguentz Dort (knee) sidelined. His next chance to play will come Wednesday at Minnesota.

Jerome will start Sunday against the Mavericks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Jerome came off the bench Friday but will rejoin the starting five Sunday for his third start of the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (COVID-19 protocols) and Luguentz Dort (knee) are sidelined, so Jerome should see plenty of offensive opportunities.

Jerome will come off the bench Friday against the Knicks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) returning, Jerome will head back to his usual bench role. As a reserve, he's averaged 5.9 points, 1.2 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 12.6 minutes.

Jerome ended Wednesday's 115-97 loss to Phoenix with 24 points (9-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Covid-19 Protocols) a game-day scratch, Jerome stepped into a starting role and produced an excellent line in the loss. This season, the Virginia product has seen a regression in his totals amidst a crowded depth chart for the Thunder. The 24-year-old is unlikely to provide much fantasy value when Gilgeous-Alexander is healthy but is still the first man to spell him off the bench.

Jerome will start Wednesday's game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Jerome was recalled from the G League last week and will make his second start of the season with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) a late scratch Wednesday. Jerome has played exactly 15 minutes in each of the past two games but should see more run against Phoenix.

The Thunder have recalled Jerome and he will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Jerome recorded six points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven assists and four rebounds across 20 minutes in Friday's 121-93 victory against the Stockton Kings for the Thunder's G League affiliate. He will now help provide depth in the Thunder's backcourt.

Jerome will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Pistons, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning from a one-game absence, Jerome will head back to the bench after making a spot start Thursday against Memphis. The former Virginia standout finished that game with 12 points, two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes, but the Thunder were blown out by an NBA-record 73 points.

Jerome recorded 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 152-79 loss to the Grizzlies.

Jerome can walk away from Thursday's record loss with his head held at least moderately high. He shifted into the starting lineup after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out due to illness. At this point, there is no clear timetable on when Gilgeous-Alexander will return to the court, so in the meantime, Jerome is worth a look, at least in deeper formats.

Jerome will start Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in concussion protocols, Jerome will slide into the lineup at point guard for his first start of the season. The former Virginia standout has played double-digit minutes in each of the last 10 games, but he hasn't exceeded 18 minutes in any of those contests, so Jerome hasn't been worth much attention in fantasy circles. He'll start in the backcourt alongside Tre Mann, who gets the nod in place of Josh Giddey (illness).

Jerome amassed eight points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 110-104 loss to the Jazz.

Jerome was unable to step up for the Thunder, despite the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who was out with an ankle injury. While Jerome or Theo Maledon are the obvious beneficiaries, the Thunder are not afraid to mix things up a bit, given their current trajectory. As long as Gilgeous-Alexander is out, Jerome is probably still only worth a look in deeper formats.

Jerome totaled 14 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three asists and a steal over 21 minutes Thursday in a 107-104 victory versus the Lakers.

Entering the contest, Jerome had logged a DNP in three of seven games and had tallied double-digit points on only one occasion. However, the third-year guard shined against the Lakers, setting season highs with 14 points and three three-pointers. Jerome doesn't appear primed for a big role this season, but he averaged 10.7 points and 2.2 three-pointers in 2020-21, so he could enjoy occasional offensive outbursts.

Oklahoma City exercised Jerome's $4.22 million club option for 2022-23 on Monday.

Over his first two-plus seasons in the league with Oklahoma City and Phoenix, Jerome has appeared in 65 games and has averaged 7.0 points, 2.5 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per contest. Though the 24-year-old proved to be an adept outside shooter and playmaker in 2020-21, Jerome finds himself outside of head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation to begin the current campaign.

Jerome (calf) will be available for Sunday's finale against the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of Locked On Thunder reports.

Jerome was questionable coming in with a calf issue, but he'll give it a go as the Thunder conclude what was a rebuilding year from start to finish. Jerome missed the previous four games but averaged 2.18 minutes off the bench in his last 10 appearances.

Jerome (calf) is questionable Sunday against the Clippers.

Jerome has missed the past four games due to a left calf strain, and he could end up missing the season finale. If he's out, he'll have concluded the year averaging 10.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 23.9 minutes.

Jerome (calf) will be available for Friday's contest against the Jazz, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Jerome (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Jerome has missed the last three games with a calf injury, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him continue to be sidelined with the regular season winding down. Oklahoma City has one more game remaining after Friday.

Jerome (calf) is out Tuesday against the Kings, Nick Crain of Forbes reports.

The Thunder are without a point guard Tuesday and will likely have to hand more playmaking responsibilities to Kenrich Williams, Aleksej Pokusevski and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Jerome (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Jerome has missed the last two games due to a left calf strain, but he has a 50-50 chance to return Tuesday. Oklahoma City has just two regular season games remaining after Tuesday.

Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Jerome will miss a second straight game due to a left calf strain. Svi Mykhailiuk, Charlie Brown and Kenrich Williams could see increased minutes once again.

Jerome is out for Saturday's matchup against the Warriors due to a strained left calf.

Jerome has been one of the healthiest members of the Thunder lately, as he's missed just two games since Feb. 26. In his absence Saturday, more minutes could be available for Svi Mykhailiuk, Charlie Brown and Kenrich Williams.

Jerome posted 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal across 22 minutes in Thursday's 118-97 loss to the Warriors.

Jerome has endured a constant fight for playing time this season, but Theo Maledon has been mostly successful in holding down the starting role. The scrappy ex-Virginia Cavalier will figure into the Thunder's future plans thanks to a $2,4M team option for next year, but for now, Jerome will be relegated to a reserve role.

Jerome tallied 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds three assists and a steal across 22 minutes in a loss to Golden State on Thursday.

The second-year guard led Oklahoma City in scoring in the contest despite logging only 22 minutes of playing time. He enjoyed a standout game from the field, hitting eight of 14 field-goal attempts, including three of six from deep. Jerome has been a pleasant surprise for Oklahoma City since being called up from the G League in late February. He is posting per-game averages of 10.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 three-pointers over 33 contests..

Jerome will return to the rotation for Sunday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Jerome picked up a DNP-CD in Saturday's humiliating loss to the Pacers, but the Thunder have indicated that the former Virginia standout will be back in the rotation Sunday night. Since debuting for the Thunder in late February, Jerome has held down a consistent role of 20-to-25 minutes off the bench on most nights.

Jerome played 24 minutes off the bench and totaled 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal during the 119-115 win Monday over the Celtics.

Jerome once again outplayed starter Theo Maledon despite coming off the bench. He's been highly efficient over his last two contests, connecting on 63.6 percent of his shots while averaging 18.5 points per game. While Jerome has struggled with consistency this season, he has been a bright spot this month for the Thunder.

Jerome notched 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 31 minutes off the bench in Monday's loss against the 76ers.

As it has been the trend of late, Jerome once again outplayed the starting point guard, Theo Maledon -- but this time, the former Virginia standout ended as Oklahoma City's leading scorer after putting up his second 20-point game of the season. Maledon has scored in double digits in six of his last 10 appearances off the bench while averaging 22.4 minutes per game during that span.

Jerome registered 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's loss against the Jazz.

Jerome vastly outplayed the starting point guard, Theo Maledon, who ended with only five points on 23 minutes while shooting 1-for-6 from the field. The 2019 first-round pick has been on a tear of late and has been thriving off the bench, scoring in double digits in four of his last five contests.

Jerome notched 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss against the Cavaliers.

Jerome was the only Oklahoma City player that surpassed the 15-point mark -- despite the fact that seven scored in double digits -- and he carried the team offensively, even though his efforts didn't account for much given how the game happened. Jerome had already shown the ability to score when given enough minutes, but this 23-point output represents a season-high mark for the former Virginia standout. Considering he has regularly played over 20 minutes off the bench for the Thunder, he should continue to operate as a scoring threat off the bench for Oklahoma City -- meaning he can have a productive game here and there, but it's hard to trust him on a nightly basis when he's not a regular fixture in the starting lineup.

Jerome (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Suns, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Jerome will miss a second straight game due to his lingering ankle injury. Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers will give Jerome another opportunity to take the court without waiting long.

Jerome (ankle) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

The 23-year-old was added to the injury report earlier Wednesday due to a sprained right ankle and will be sidelined for at least one game. Svi Mykhailiuk and Justin Jackson are poised for increased roles in the backcourt since Luguentz Dort (concussion), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) and Aleksej Pokusevski (COVID-19 protocols) are also unavailable.

Jerome is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right ankle sprain.

Jerome has taken on an expanded role with the Thunder with Luguentz Dort (concussion) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) out. Over the past 14 games, he's averaged 9.9 points, 3.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 26.1 minutes. If he's out Wednesday, Svi Mykhailiuk, Kenrich Williams and Justin Jackson are candidates to see more minutes.

Jerome (not injury related) will be available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Jerome is out Sunday against the Rockets due to a sprained left ankle.

Jerome has seen a significant role with the Thunder lately, as he's averaged 10.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in his past nine games. However, with both he and Theo Maledon (undisclosed) out, more minutes could funnel to Luguentz Dort, Kenrich Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Jerome finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt), two assists, one board, and one steal in 24 minutes of a 116-93 loss to the Hawks on Thursday.

Jerome set a new career high point total off the bench. The second year man has been impressive since being called up from the G-League, with double digit scoring totals in six-of-nine games this season including his last four. He'll face the Rockets on Sunday.

Jerome had 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.

Making his first career NBA start with Lu Dort and Theo Maledon sidelined, Jerome fared well, draining a pair of three-pointers and finishing with a well-rounded line in 30 minutes of action. The Thunder appear to be taking a longer look at the Virginia product, as he's played north of 20 minutes in six of seven games since returning from the G League.

Jerome will likely see an elevated role in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

While the Thunder will get Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) back from injury, they'll be without a number of regulars Sunday, including Theo Maledon (undisclosed) and Lu Dort (undisclosed). As a result, Jerome figures to play a key role, and it's possible he could move into the lineup for his first start of the season. Over the last six games, the former Virginia standout is averaging 8.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 25.8 minutes.

Jerome delivered 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss at Dallas.

Jerome has played just three games this season but is shining off the bench, as he has scored at least 13 points in back-to-back games while logging at least 22 minutes in every appearances. He has benefited from the lack of depth of the Thunder at both backcourt positions, and while he's not expected to move to the starting five any time soon, he shouldn't have problems remaining productive as long as he keeps seeing the court routinely.

Jerome tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes off the bench Friday in the Thunder's 118-109 win over the Hawks.

Making his season debut Friday after an extended absence due to a left ankle sprain followed by a stint in the G League, Jerome stepped into the rotation as the backup point guard behind Theo Maledon. The 2019 first-round pick made a compelling case to stick in the rotation at least through the All-Star break, turning in a solid all-around line while the Thunder were plus-4 during his time on the court. George Hill (thumb) could rejoin Oklahoma City's backcourt mix after the All-Star break to complicate things for Jerome and Maledon, but the veteran will be a prime candidate to be traded ahead of the March 25 deadline.

Jerome will make his Thunder debut against the Hawks on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

The Thunder recalled Jerome after carving out a G League role to start the season. He has 328 minutes of NBA experience to his name, which all came last year as a member of the Suns. In 10.6 minutes per game, he averaged 3.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Jerome was recalled by the Thunder on Thursday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Jerome was carving out a role to begin the G League season, but he'll now return to the parent club.

Jerome was traded to the Thunder on Monday as part of a package that brings Chris Paul to the Suns, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After a fantastic college career at Virginia, Jerome didn't make much of an impact at the NBA level last season, but he has some upside as a smart, facilitating point guard. In 31 appearances for the Suns, Jerome averaged 3.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists, while shooting 33.6 percent from the field.

Jerome was sent to the G League on Wednesday.

Jerome has only played two NBA minutes across the past four games. The organization will opt to get him some run in the G League.

Jerome (calf), who made his return and dished one assist in seven minutes Friday against the Rockets, is available for Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

Jerome won't play Sunday against the Bucks due to a lower leg injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Jerome was seen with a wrap on his leg Sunday morning, though the severity of the injury and whether or not he'll be in contention to return Monday against the Nets remains to be seen. Jevon Carter could see a fair amount of minutes at backup point guard Sunday behind Elie Okobo, as regular starter Ricky Rubio (ankle) is also out.

Jerome (ankle) is considered probable for Saturday's game at Houston, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

Jerome was sidelined the first 18 games of the season due to the ankle injury but returned to action the past three contests. The rookie first-round pick is averaging 3.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.3 steals in 13.3 minutes and figures to see a similar workload Saturday.

Jerome (ankle) will be available to make his season debut Monday night against the Hornets, Kellan Olson of AZ Sports reports.

The rookie out of Virginia has been sidelined since the preseason with a sprained ankle, but he'll be available off the bench for the first time in his career.

Jerome (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

After battling a severe ankle sprain throughout the year, Jerome appears likely to make his season debut against the Hornets.

Jerome (ankle) was recalled by the Suns on Saturday.

Jerome returned from a right ankle sprain to play 18 minutes in a G League contest earlier in the day. The injury has so far prevented the rookie from making his NBA debut.

Jerome (ankle) won't play Friday against the Mavericks, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

Jerome has missed the entire season up until this point with a right ankle sprain, but he played 12 minutes in the G League on Tuesday, which signals that he could be nearing a return.

The 22-year-old's next chance to make his season debut will come Monday against Charlotte.

The Suns list Jerome (ankle) as out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Sidelined all season with a right ankle sprain, Jerome appears healthy again after he made a 12-minute appearance for the G League's Northern Arizona Suns. Though Phoenix recalled him from the G League ahead of Wednesday's game, the Suns will understandably err on the side of caution and withhold Jerome from action rather than having him play for the second day in a row. Jerome will presumably turn his focus to Friday's game against the Mavericks for his NBA debut.

Jerome (ankle) was assigned to the Suns' G-League affiliate Monday, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Jerome will head to Northern Arizona to continue his recovery from an ankle injury that's prevented him from seeing action this season. The assignment indicates a major step forward for Jerome, who'll finally be able to get his first professional reps. He'll likely stay in Northern Arizona until he's up to speed at which point he'll rejoin Phoenix in order to provide backcourt depth. He can be considered questionable for Tuesday's G-League matchup with the Iowa Wolves.

Jerome continues to inch closer to a full recovery. He's expected to return around mid-December.

Jerome (ankle) is considered "a couple weeks away" from returning to action, Kellan Olson of AZSports reports.

Jerome (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, but he remains without a return timetable, Kellan Olson of Empire of the Suns reports.

The rookie point guard has been battling a fairly severe ankle sprain, and while he's moving in the right direction, coach Monty Williams said Monday that Jerome is yet to return to any on-court work. Expect the Virginia product to remain out for at least a few more weeks.

Jerome (ankle) is out indefinitely due to a right ankle sprain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Jerome suffered the injury during Monday's practice, and it turns out the issue is more serious than originally expected. The rookie will be reevaluated in 2-to-4 weeks, at which point a timetable for his return should come into focus.

Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Bob Young of The Athletic reports.

Jerome is still sporting a walking boot, so it seems he may still be a ways away from making his NBA debut. With the Suns playing a back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, it's likely the rookie is held out through the weekend.

Jerome (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Kings, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.

A sprained right ankle will prevent the rookie from making his debut. His next chance to take the floor arrives Friday in Denver.

Jerome turned his ankle in practice Monday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
