While the Cavaliers have offered no specifics on the right ankle injury to reserve guard Ty Jerome, it’s very clearly pretty serious. He appeared in just the first two games of the season, playing five minutes in the first and nine in the second.
Per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, Jerome was recently hesitant to land on the ankle when going through shooting practice. Also, coach J.B. Bickerstaff has said that Jerome is ways away from returning.
The injury is being called a severe right ankle sprain. He recently had a cast placed on it and is expected to be re-evaluated in about a week, Fedor reported.
Jerome, 26, spent last season with the Golden State Warriors and averaged 6.9 points in 45 appearances.
