As fans have been awaiting injury updates for <\/a>Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> guard Ty Jerome, who has yet to play in the regular season for the team, the next chance comes on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. With Jerome looking to reach\u00a0<\/a>his full potential with the Grizzlies,<\/a> it hasn\u2019t been shown yet due to a right calf strain, though recent events suggest\u00a0he is likely close to a return.<\/p>\n

Jerome\u2019s status for the Grizzlies doesn\u2019t look good for Friday\u2019s status in New Orleans, as he is listed as \u201cdoubtful\u201d<\/a> for the contest, which comes after being designated as questionable with the calf strain. The game is the first of a back-to-back that continues tomorrow, where the team goes back home to host the Minnesota Timberwolves, which could be part of his missing Friday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Still, Jerome appears to be close, as discussed last week<\/a> by head coach Tuomas Iisalo<\/a>, with The Commercial Appeal noting that the 28-year-old\u2019s return is a week or two away.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s already progressed to 5-on-5 live,\u201d Iisalo said. \u201cSo we\u2019re very close. I think the evaluation is somewhere within one or two weeks, something like this. He still needs to build a little bit of load before the actual games. But he\u2019s doing great. He\u2019s progressing really well and in high spirits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jerome would even record a practice session<\/a> with the Grizzlies\u2019 G League affiliate in the Memphis Hustle, which is a positive sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cJerome got a practice session in with the Hustle on Wednesday before being recalled to the NBA, which is an encouraging sign that he may make his season debut soon,\u201d CBS Sports wrote.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen when he will officially return, but for the question of whether Ty Jerome is playing tonight vs. the Pelicans, the answer is probably not.<\/p>\n
