Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome is out against the Nets on Saturday night with a right hip issue, according to the official injury report. The report lists Nov. 16 as his expected return, so he is set to miss one game.
What happened
Jerome was listed as out on the injury report posted Saturday at 2:56 p.m. ET. The report describes the injury as hip, torso, right. No previous status is listed for this entry. The report's comment notes that Jerome scored 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting, with two rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes, in Wednesday's 123-118 loss to the Nuggets. Earlier this season he appeared on the report with a back and torso issue. He went from day-to-day to out on Oct. 31, then back to day-to-day on Nov. 1, and was cleared that day. The report lists his expected return as Nov. 16.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis plays the Nets at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Grizzlies are 8-4, sixth in the standings, and have won one straight. Jerome is averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 30.5 minutes over 11 games. Memphis is 7-4 with him and 1-0 without him. In the games he has missed, Cameron Boozer has played 31.7 minutes and averaged 15.6 points. Cedric Coward has played 28.4 minutes and averaged 12.9. Jaylen Wells has played 27.2 minutes and averaged 11.9. Jerami Grant is next at 23.8 minutes. Zach Edey is listed as day-to-day with a left ankle issue. Quinten Post is day-to-day with a concussion. Richie Saunders and Scotty Pippen Jr. are out.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Jerome's Nov. 16 return date holds. That is the only return timeline on the report. Watch the status of Edey and Post as well, since both are day-to-day and the Grizzlies are already without Saunders and Pippen. Memphis has no other games listed beyond Saturday's meeting with the Nets. Jerome's earlier back and torso issue cleared quickly, but this hip issue is a different injury, and no further detail on it has been announced.
