Ty Jerome

With all the backcourt injuries in Memphis, the 2024 second-round pick has been able to have a solid season as a reserve. With Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. all sidelined, Spencer has stepped up as a scorer as of late. 21 points were a new season high, and he has scored in double figures in six straight games. Spencer has been shooting the ball at an unsustainable rate, but he should have streaming appeal in deeper formats as long as Morant is sidelined.

The Grizzlies announced Saturday that Jerome is progressing well in his rehab from a high-grade right calf strain and is expected to make his season debut within 6-to-9 weeks.

Jerome suffered a high-grade calf strain during the preseason. At the time, the update was that he'd be re-evaluated in four weeks. Four weeks later, the 28-year-old point guard is expected to miss another 6-9 weeks. Jaylen Wells will continue to pick up minutes while Jerome is out.

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

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