Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome has officially put the NBA world on notice.
Jerome was named the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week for games played Oct. 20-25, the league announced on Oct. 26. NBA superstars Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were among the candidates.
Tyrese Maxey took home the award for the Eastern Conference.
This is Jerome's first ever NBA Player of the Week honor. He captured the award by averaging 34.7 points, six assists and leading the Grizzlies to an 3-0 record.
Jerome's most notable performance came when he scored 45 points and set a Grizzlies record for most points in a season-opener.
The first three games have essentially served as a breakout for the 29-year old guard. He was a finalist
for the Sixth Man of the Year award while playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2024-25.
Jerome showed signs of this caliber production last season, but he was limited to 15 games.
