The Memphis Grizzlies’ preseason ended on a difficult note, as guard Ty Jerome suffered a high-grade right calf strain during the first quarter of their game against the Heat. The team has announced he will be out for at least four weeks before his condition is re-evaluated. This injury comes just before the Grizzlies are set to start their season on Wednesday against New Orleans.
🤕 An Unfortunate Start for Jerome
The injury is an unfortunate setback for Ty Jerome, who is one of the newest members of the Grizzlies. He joined the team during the recent offseason, bringing experience from his time with several other NBA teams. Since being drafted in 2019, the shooting guard has played for Phoenix, Oklahoma City, Golden State, and Cleveland. Fans were looking forward to seeing how he would contribute to his new team.
🏥 A Growing Injury List for the Team
Jerome’s absence adds to a growing list of health concerns for the Grizzlies. The team is already managing several key injuries as they head into the new season. Center Zach Edey is recovering from ankle surgery, while guard Scotty Pippen Jr. is also sidelined after a procedure on his toe. Additionally, Brandon Clarke is still working his way back from knee surgery, putting the team’s depth to the test early on.
