Jerome got off to another slow start in Game 3, shooting 1-for-8, and at that point coach Kenny Atkinson had seen enough. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/45130405\/2025-nba-playoffs-second-round-most-likely-celtics-warriors-rally-3-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"Read more on ESPN\" target=\"_blank\">Jerome played just 13 minutes, by far his lowest total of the postseason, as\u00a0Sam Merrill\u00a0passed him on the depth chart. By Game 5, Jerome couldn\u2019t get off the bench until the second half<\/a>. Already facing financial pressures as a projected second apron team next season, the Cavaliers might now conclude that Jerome isn\u2019t worth retaining if he can\u2019t even stay on the floor in their most important games. And Jerome\u2019s struggles in the playoff pressure cooker might also scare off potential suitors who would otherwise be interested in seeing what he could do with more touches. -via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/45130405\/2025-nba-playoffs-second-round-most-likely-celtics-warriors-rally-3-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> ESPN<\/a> \/ May 14, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With\u00a0Darius Garland\u00a0injured, Jerome scored 21 points on 20 shots in Game 1, then went 1-for-14 in Game 2&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3772],"tags":[7,306,305,193,3846,896,3627,11986,1363,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-44828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-cavaliers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-cavaliers","10":"tag-cleveland","11":"tag-cleveland-cavaliers","12":"tag-clevelandcavaliers","13":"tag-free-agency","14":"tag-kenny-atkinson","15":"tag-koby-altman","16":"tag-main-rumors","17":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114539141850509925","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
