Ty Jerome Frontrunner to Start at Point Guard for Memphis Grizzlies

Ty Jerome has emerged as the most likely candidate to fill the starting point guard job for the Memphis Grizzlies following Ja Morant's departure. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo praised the 25-year-old guard as an easy fit due to his ballhandling, defense, and perimeter shooting. Jerome faces competition from Scotty Pippen, though both guards figure to command significant roles for the rebuilding Memphis squad heading into the 2026-27 NBA season.
