Overview

  • Jerome left Friday's preseason win over the Heat after four minutes, and the team confirmed a minimum four-week absence with a right calf injury.
  • Ja Morant has been cleared for the season opener after a preseason ankle sprain, while Scotty Pippen Jr. is expected to miss about three months following toe surgery.
  • Rookies Javon Small and Cam Spencer are positioned for early rotation minutes as Memphis looks for ball-handling help.
  • The front office has explored two-way contract changes that would require waiving PJ Hall, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, or Javon Small, according to RG.org.
  • Memphis is monitoring veteran guards on the free-agent market with no signing imminent as the Pelicans visit FedExForum on Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST.
