Ty Jerome News: Expected to start sans Mitchell

Ty Jerome to start for Kings in season opener

With De'Aaron Fox sidelined indefinitely due to a foot injury, the Sacramento Kings will turn to Ty Jerome as their starting point guard in the season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Jerome has played well in preseason

Jerome has averaged 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in four preseason games for the Kings, shooting 48.3% from the field and 40.7% from three-point range.

The 25-year-old is entering his fourth NBA season and has shown flashes of potential as a scorer and playmaker.

Kings hope Jerome can fill in for Fox

The Kings are hoping that Jerome can provide some stability at point guard while Fox is out.

Fox is one of the most dynamic young guards in the league, and his absence will be a major blow to the Kings' offense.

But Jerome has shown that he can be a capable starting point guard, and the Kings are confident that he can help them win games in Fox's absence.

Jerome's performance will be key for Kings

Jerome's performance will be key for the Kings in the season opener against the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are a tough opponent, and the Kings will need Jerome to play well if they want to win.

If Jerome can play well and help the Kings win, it will be a major boost to his confidence and to the team's overall outlook for the season.
