According to multiple reports, the Cleveland Cavaliers do have legit interest in bringing back Ty Jerome. Not only do reports say this, but President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman says Cleveland wants him back.
The combo guard was terrific during the Cavaliers amazing regular season run, as many were not expecting him to give the production he gave. In 2023-24, Jerome only played two games for Cleveland. The season before that, when playing for the Golden State Warriors, he only averaged 6.9 points and 3.0 assists.
Before this current season, the last time Jerome averaged over ten points a game was back in 2020-21 with the Oklahoma City Thunder. So this transformation in one of the best sixth men in the league was mind-blowing to see.
With him having a good season, it’s expected he will command attention in the market, if Cleveland doesn’t re-sign him. This was the final season of his two-year, $5 million deal.
Two weeks ago, in an interview with HoopsHype, Jerome confirmed that he would “love to be back with the Cavs.” The feeling is mutual between the player and organization.
“I think I have an amazing situation here with a coaching staff that empowers me and a team that empowers me,” Jerome told HoopsHype just before the start of the NBA Playoffs. “Obviously, I’d love to be back. We’ve just got to see how it plays out.”
