Ty Jerome was born on July 8, 1997, in New York City and grew up in New Rochelle, just north of the city. A 6-foot-5 guard, he became known for his high basketball IQ and reliable outside shot. Jerome played college ball at Virginia, where he helped the Cavaliers win the 2019 national championship as the starting shooting guard. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 24th pick in the 2019 NBA draft, then traded to the Phoenix Suns before ever playing a game for Philadelphia. Since then, he has suited up for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and Cleveland Cavaliers. In 2024, he signed with the Memphis Grizzlies, continuing his career as a steady backcourt contributor.[edit]
