There are few players on as much of a roll right now as Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome is to begin the 2026-27 NBA season. Jerome is coming off another stellar performance, dropping 40 points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. But his work apparently was not done after the game.

In the midst of Ty Jerome’s 40-point explosion against the Pelicans, the Grizzlies guard’s wife posted on social media that she was going to make him take down the Christmas tree from their attic as soon as he got home, as per Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian.

Whether or not Jerome put in another work shift after the Grizzlies game is one thing, but what can’t be overlooked is the incredible run that he’s been on to start the year. The Grizzlies ended up losing to the Pelicans, but that was their first loss of the young season after they got off to a 6-0 start with Jerome leading the way.

The former Virginia star has appeared in six of the Grizzlies’ seven games thus far, at just about 31 minutes per game. He’s averaging a career-high 28.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals with splits of 50.4 percent shooting from the field, 42.1 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 88.6 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

This is Jerome’s second season with the Grizzlies after signing a free agent contract in the 2025 offseason. He was limited to only 19 games last year due to injury, but his breakout was foreshadowed as he was putting up a career-best 19.7 points in the games he did appear in.
