Memphis Grizzlies Put Ty Jerome on the Trade Block
The Memphis Grizzlies are off to a 4-0 start, with Ty Jerome standing out for his play. Marc Stein reports that the chance of a trade involving the guard will remain on the table until February 11.
Memphis Grizzlies entered the 2026-27 NBA season with an impressive 4-0 start. The player who stood out most in this winning run was 29-year-old point guard Ty Jerome.
Jerome averaged 29.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game in 31.3 minutes. In the season opener against the Utah Jazz, he scored 45 points while shooting 50.6% from the field. With this performance, he earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors for the first week.
Despite this production, NBA reporter Marc Stein's latest report says Jerome's future in Memphis is uncertain. The team is focused on developing its young core of No. 3 pick Cam Boozer, Zach Edey and Cedric Coward. This makes Jerome one of the most likely candidates to be moved before the February 11 trade deadline.
The guard signed a three-year, $27.6 million contract last year, and the team holds a team option for next season. Several teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, are expected to show interest in Jerome.
