Downgraded to out Monday
Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analyse
Jerome's absence appears to be strategic management of his right calf, as Monday's contest is the first of a back-to-back set. With Scotty Pippen (toe) also sidelined, Javon Small, Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer should see an uptick in opportunities in the backcourt.

Doubtful for Monday
Jerome (calf) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Nets.
Analyse
Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, and it looks like Jerome will receive a maintenance day. Scotty Pippen (toe) is also expected to sit out Monday's game, so Walter Clayton, Javon Small and Cam Spencer should see a bump in minutes.

Leads Memphis in close loss
Jerome registered 23 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and three steals over 25 minutes during the Grizzlies' 123-120 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.
Analyse
Jerome scored 10 of his team-high 23 points in the fourth quarter, and he was effective in his limited playing time as he led the Grizzlies in points, assists and steals during Saturday's close loss. His 25 minutes were actually his most in a game this season, as he's had his playing time heavily monitored while managing a right calf injury that cost him the first half of the 2025-26 regular season. Jerome is averaging 19.4 points, 5.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 21.6 minutes per game this season.
6. März 2026
Not listed on injury report
Jerome (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Clippers.
Analyse
Jerome is set to return from a maintenance day, so he should see his usual minutes in a starting role Saturday, which will likely result in Javon Small heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer.

Ruled out Wednesday
Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Analyse
Jerome will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to right calf injury management. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Clippers. The Grizzlies are set to be extremely shorthanded Wednesday, leaving significant minutes available for the likes of Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Javon Small.

Doubtful Wednesday
Jerome (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Analyse
The expectation is that Memphis will keep Jerome out of action for calf injury management on the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. Jahmai Mashack and Walter Clayton will be asked to help pick up the slack in the Grizzlies' depleted backcourt Wednesday.
4. März 2026
Scores 14 points in loss
Jerome (thigh) ended with 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analyse
After missing the last two games while recovering from a left thigh contusion, Jerome was back in the starting five but struggled to find his rhythm from the field. Since being cleared to make his season debut Jan. 31 after a lengthy recovery from a right calf strain, Jerome has yet to play in both ends of the three back-to-back sets that the Grizzlies have had. With that in mind, Jerome could be held out of action for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
4. März 2026
Will play Tuesday
Jerome (thigh) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Analyse
As expected, Jerome will return to the court Tuesday after missing a pair of matchups while tending to a bruised thigh. He'll draw the start at point guard in his ninth appearance of the 2025-26 campaign.
3. März 2026
On track to play
Jerome (thigh) is trending toward playing in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
Analyse
Jerome remains listed as questionable due to a bruised left thigh, but this report indicates that he's progressing in the right direction. Expect official confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.
