US EditionReport: Cleveland Cavaliers Lose Ty Jerome in Free Agency After Guard Agrees to 3-Year Deal with Memphis Grizzlies
- After free agency opened in late June 2025, Ty Jerome, previously a guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, agreed to a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies valued at $28 million over three seasons.
- Jerome's departure followed Cleveland's trade for Lonzo Ball and the team's deep salary commitments, which made re-signing Jerome unlikely despite his breakout 2024-25 season.
- During the 2024-25 season with Cleveland, Jerome posted career-best numbers, scoring 12.5 points per game, distributing 3.4 assists, and shooting an efficient 51.6% from the field including 43.9% beyond the arc, contributing to the team's top seed finish in the Eastern Conference.
- His contract with Memphis will average roughly $9.3 million per year, and he is expected to serve as backup to Ja Morant on a team needing shooting after losing Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane.
- Jerome's move marks his fifth NBA team in seven seasons and suggests Cleveland will rely on Ball, Tyrese Proctor, and new additions like Sam Merrill to maintain its backcourt depth.
