In February 2013 he signed with the Los Angeles D-Fenders (D-League) where he managed to play in 18 games and hit averages of 11.6 ppg and 6.9 rpg.  In April 2013 he played a short, six-game stint in the Philippines for the Talk N’ Text Tropang Texters (PBA). In those half a dozen games Jerome posted averages of 16.3 ppg and 10.3 rpg.
