Ty Jerome’s calf injury delays Memphis debut further

The Memphis Grizzlies revealed that guard Ty Jerome is expected to remain sidelined for another six to nine weeks as he continues to heal from what the team described as a high-grade strain in his right calf.

According to the Grizzlies, the player “is recovering well from the injury.”

Jerome has yet to take the floor in a regular-season matchup for Memphis, as the setback occurred during the preseason.

The organization brought in the experienced combo guard over the summer on a three-year contract worth $27.6 million, but he hasn’t had the chance to debut for the team since suffering the injury.
