Ty Jerome to Start Saturday on Strict Minutes Restriction

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome is set to make his regular-season debut Saturday against the Timberwolves, immediately stepping into the starting lineup after rehabbing a high-grade right calf strain. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo confirmed Jerome will be on a "very strict minutes restriction." His return shifts Cam Spencer to the bench. Jerome is coming off a career-best 2024-25 season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 19.9 minutes over 70 games.
