Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Jerome is in line for his fifth straight absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The fact that he's been ruled out a full day ahead of Wednesday's game is likely a sign that he's not all that close to a return. With only six games remaining in the regular season after Wednesday, it's unknown if he'll get healthy in time to appear down the stretch, especially with little to play for.
