Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Sidelined for at least four weeks
Rotowire
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 either Javon Small or Cam Spencer early on.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Further evaluation looming
Rotowire
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.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Quiet in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Jerome closed Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 11 minutes.
Jerome was quiet in the Game 5 loss, rounding out what was a breakout season, at least from an individual standpoint. However, despite closing the season with a scoring average of 12.4 points per game, Jerome's output during the playoffs was largely underwhelming. Over the final four games, he averaged 4.7 points, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Jerome is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Friday.
Jerome struggled in his spot start in Game 2 on Tuesday, going 1-for-14 from the field and finishing with two points, three assists and two rebounds over 28 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench for Friday's crucial contest while Darius Garland (toe) returns from a four-game absence. Jerome played a key role off the Cavaliers' bench during the regular season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 19.9 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Comes up short in spot start
Rotowire
Jerome ended with two points (1-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-119 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Jerome moved into the starting lineup as a result of multiple absences from the regular rotation. Although it has been a breakout season for Jerome, he was unable to provide anything of value in a disappointing loss. Darius Garland (toe) has now missed four straight games and despite the urgency, could certainly be sidelined once again for Game 3. Jerome is likely to continue playing a key role but will need to increase his production with the series now shifting to Indiana.

Jerome remains one of the most consistent players in the Cavaliers' second unit. The Virginia product attempted 20 shots in Game 1, only second to Donovan Mitchell (30) in this series opener.

Darius Garland (toe) missed his second game in a row and remains day-to-day. Sam Merrill has been starting in Garland's absence, but Jerome offers far more upside in fantasy formats. Through four postseason games, Cleveland's sixth man is averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 51.6 percent shooting from the field.
