Hampered by a right ankle sprain at the start of the season, Suns guard Ty Jerome made his debut in orange and purple with the Suns’ G League affiliate Northern Arizona Suns Tuesday night at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley.

He played a total of 12 minutes, only seeing action during the first and second quarter.
He ended the evening shooting 3-of-9 with nine points, one rebound, one assist and a steal.
Following the game, it was announced both Jerome and Jalen Lecque had been recalled to the Phoenix Suns.
