Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ty Jerome is scheduled for unrestricted free agency, but he will remain in Ohio if the team has its way. "Love to keep him. We're hopeful," Cavaliers president Koby Altman said. Jerome had his second season with the Cavaliers, although it was essentially a debut campaign for him after an ankle injury derailed his year in 2023-24, during which he played in only two games. The 27-year-old was one of the best bench players in the league, averaging 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in 19.9 minutes. He finished third in the Sixth Man of the Year voting. Now, Jerome is looking at a substantial raise from his current $2.5 million salary. The Cavaliers can offer him a maximum of $14.3 million for next season, and it remains to be seen whether that will be enough to keep him around.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome had a rough outing in Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, shooting a horrible 1-for-14 from the field to finish a 120-119 loss with two points. Jerome took Sam Merrill's spot in the starting unit and struggled right out of the gate, with Pacers center Myles Turner blocking a pair of his shots. The 27-year-old made his only field goal early in the third quarter. He finished 0-for-4 from outside and had two rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes. With Darius Garland (toe) injured, Jerome must do much more for the Cavaliers, who are now in an uncomfortable 2-0 series hole after losing two home games.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome had 21 Points in Sunday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. He added eight assists and one steal. Darius Garland (toe) remained out for this one, so Jerome continued to get more opportunities to produce, with the 27-year-old and Donovan Mitchell combing for 50 shot attempts on the night. Garland may be back for Game 2 on Tuesday. However, he could be limited if he does return. Still, it's hard to imagine Jerome staying as involved on the scoring end, regardless of Garland's status.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(knee) will miss Friday's contest against the New York Knicks due to left knee injury management. Jerome will be out for the second half of back-to-back games after finishing with 24 points, six assists, two rebounds, and one block in 26 minutes against the Pacers on Thursday. The Cavs will likely rest several players for their last two games as they prepare for the playoffs. Jerome's last chance to suit up is during the team's regular season finale on Sunday afternoon versus the Pacers.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team will need to figure out how to keep the ship afloat without arguably their top bench option. While De'Andre Hunter is the favorite to claim most of the surplus minutes from off the bench, Craig Porter Jr., who had nine points, five boards, and three steals in Friday's loss to Detroit, could find his way back to the floor.

On Friday, Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(knee) will be out of action against the Detroit Pistons. Jerome will miss his second game in a row due to a knee issue. The 27-year-old finished with 25 points, two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in a 122-111 win over the Blazers on Tuesday. WithMax Strus(ankle) also unavailable this evening, Sam MerrillandIsaac Okorowill likely receive a heavier workload during the contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) will miss Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Ahead of tip-off, the team has downgraded Jerome's status from questionable to out.

De'Andre Hunter and Sam Merrill are expected to contribute a bit more off the Cavaliers bench in Thursday's contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) may sit out Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, as he is listed as questionable on the injury report. With Donovan Mitchell (groin) out of commission, Jerome took on a larger offensive role in Tuesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, producing 25 points off the bench. However, he might not get a chance to build on that momentum due to a sore left knee. Craig Porter Jr. might join the rotation in Jerome's absence, but he is unlikely to play a significant role with Mitchell returning to the lineup.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(rest) will miss Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets for rest purposes. Jerome will get an extended rest with the Cavs out of action until Friday after tonight's contest. Donovan Mitchell (groin) and De'Andre Hunter(illness) are also sidelined, meaning players like Max Strus,Sam Merrill,Craig Porter, andJaylon Tysonwill likely see increased roles for Tuesday's home matchup against the Nets.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (calf) may have to sit out a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets, as the team lists him as questionable for the matchup. Jerome made 14 straight appearances before dropping out of the lineup due to a right calf strain.

Jerome has been a big part of the Cavaliers' success this season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 19.1 minutes off the pine. Craig Porter Jr. and Jaylon Tyson are unlikely to provide the same level of production even if they play more on Wednesday due to Jerome's absence.

Jerome is coming off a performance that included 15 points and four assists against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. Craig Porter Jr. and Sam Merrill may take on larger roles off the bench on Wednesday, especially since Max Strus (ankle) is also iffy for the game.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) will be in the lineup against Oklahoma City on Thursday. He has missed two games due to an illness, but Cleveland has upgraded Jerome from questionable to available. The 27-year-old has been a valuable bench contributor this season for the Cavaliers, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals with 41.2 percent shooting from deep. Jerome notched 15 points and a pair of steals in just 12 minutes as Cleveland defeated the Thunder 129-122 last week.

An illness has kept him sidelined for a pair of games, and Jerome might also be forced to miss a meeting with his former team. Caris LeVert and Max Strus have carried the bench with Jerome out. However, they have been inconsistent and face a tricky matchup on Thursday as the Cavaliers go up against the league's top defense.

If he is out again on Tuesday as expected, Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, and Craig Porter Jr. will divide up his minutes in the second unit.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. This comes as no surprise after Cleveland listed Jerome as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jerome's absence should slightly boost Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert from a fantasy perspective, while Craig Porter Jr. might break back into the rotation as an additional ball-handler. Jerome's first chance to return will come on Tuesday when Cleveland will square off against the Pacers in a rematch.

The 27-year-old has been an important member of the bench unit this term, contributing 10.1 points in 17.6 minutes, with 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals.

He could be worth a look in deep leagues but his playing time has been inconsistent this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(illness) is in danger of missing his second straight game due to an illness for Thursday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Darius Garland may see additional playing time if Jerome cannot suit up. Craig Porter Jr. and Caris LeVert will likely also see an uptick in minutes. LeVert, who is already averaging 24.1 minutes per game, could see a significant increase in his fantasy value on Thursday.
