Doubtful for Thursday
Jerome is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to right calf injury management.
Analysis
The Grizzlies are expected to keep Jerome from playing the first half of their back-to-back. Javon Small, Jahmai Mashack and Rayan Rupert should soak up extra minutes for a depleted Memphis group Thursday.

Ejected Tuesday
Jerome was assessed two technical fouls and ejected with 1:18 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 139-129 loss to the 76ers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports. He finished with 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes.
Analysis
Jerome dropped a team-high 26 points before being ejected late in the fourth after arguing with the officials. He has scored 20-plus points in back-to-back appearances and will look to extend that streak against Dallas on Thursday.
March 10, 2026
Available to play
Jerome (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
After missing the front end of this back-to-back set, Jerome has the green light to return to action. Over his last three games, he's averaging 19.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.7 three-pointers.

Downgraded to out Monday
Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
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.
March 8, 2026
Doubtful for Monday
Jerome (calf) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Nets.
Analysis
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.
March 8, 2026
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.
Analysis
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.
March 6, 2026
Not listed on injury report
Jerome (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Clippers.
Analysis
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.
March 5, 2026
Ruled out Wednesday
Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Analysis
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.
