Ty Jerome got the start for the Oklahoma City Thunder for just the second time this season on Wednesday night against his former team, the Phoenix Suns. 

Jerome made the most of his opportunity, recording 24 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 25 minutes played. Jerome came into the game averaging 6.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season. 

The Thunder lost to the Suns in Phoenix, 115-97, but Jerome's 24 points in the game led all Thunder scorers and was a career-high for Jerome, whose previous career-high was 23 points. Jerome's seven rebounds were also a career-high. 

Up next, Jerome and the Thunder return home to host the New York Knicks on New Year's Eve.
