Grizzlies Sign Ty Jerome to Three-Year Deal

The Memphis Grizzlies have signed free agent guard Ty Jerome to a three-year, $28 million contract with a player option for the third year, following his breakout season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jerome averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, and shot 43.9% from three-point range, finishing third in Sixth Man of the Year voting and delivering strong postseason performances. His signing aims to strengthen Memphis' backcourt after the departures of Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard, giving Jerome the opportunity to compete for a starting job or serve as a high-impact reserve. The Grizzlies also re-signed Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama, maintaining roster continuity while upgrading specific needs. Meanwhile, Cleveland responded to Jerome's exit by acquiring Lonzo Ball and re-signing Sam Merrill, reshaping their backcourt rotation. Jerome is expected to provide Memphis with valuable scoring, shooting, and versatility.
