Ty Jerome was listed as cleared on the injury report Thursday night after being day-to-day with a back issue earlier that day. The Grizzlies guard is off the report ahead of Saturday's home game against the Kings.
What happened
Ty Jerome was listed as cleared on the injury report at 9:49 PM ET on Thursday, Oct 29. Earlier that same day, the 29-year-old guard-forward was listed as day-to-day with a back issue in the torso area. The report gave no further detail on the injury and had no comment on the change. Thursday's two entries are the only listings for Jerome in this stretch. No return date was announced, and the move to cleared means one is no longer needed.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis hosts the Kings on Saturday, Oct 31, at 8:00 PM ET. The Grizzlies are 4-0, have won four straight and sit second in the standings. Jerome's line from last season was 29.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 31.3 minutes over four games. Memphis has not played a game without him. Cameron Boozer leads the rotation at 32.1 minutes and 15.8 points. Cedric Coward averages 29.6 minutes and 13.8 points, and Jaylen Wells averages 28.1 minutes and 13.8 points. Cam Spencer, at 18.0 minutes and 8.6 points, and GG Jackson, at 16.1 minutes, are the other guard and wing options.
What to watch
The next injury report before Saturday's game against the Kings will show whether Jerome stays off the list. The team has not given any timeline beyond the cleared status. Quinten Post is also on the Memphis report as day-to-day with a right ankle issue, so the frontcourt is worth watching before tip-off. Saturday's 8:00 PM ET game is the next one on the schedule.
