Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on January 23 to treat a right ankle impingement that has sidelined him since October 28, the team announced on Thursday.
According to the team, after recent imaging, repeated evaluation, and rehabilitation by the Cavaliers medical staff confirmed that surgery was the best course to heal the affected area.
The 26-year-old Jerome, who signed with the Cavs last summer, will be out indefinitely, and his return to basketball activities will be updated as appropriate, according to the Cavs.
This season, the fourth-year guard averaged 2.0 points and 1.5 assists per contest.
Cleveland returns to action Friday night when they face the Bucks in Milwaukee.
