Cam Spencer News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Out again Tuesday Spencer (thumb) won't play Tuesday night against the Suns.

Impact Spencer will miss another matchup while rehabbing from left thumb surgery. His next chance at a return will arrive Wednesday against the Clippers, though a timetable for his return remains unclear at this point.

Remains out for Saturday Spencer (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Spencer has been sidelined since early January after undergoing surgery on a broken left thumb. The rookie can be considered week-to-week until the team provides another update on his recovery.

To be re-evaluated in three weeks The Grizzlies announced Friday that Spencer (thumb) will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact After suffering a fractured left thumb in Thursday's practice with the G League's Memphis Hustle, Spencer will get surgery and is facing an extended absence, but he's expected to make a full recovery. Amid the rookie second-rounder's absence, fantasy managers can look for Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen to serve as the Grizzlies' first guards off the bench going forward.

Won't play Thursday Spencer (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Impact Spencer will miss Thursday's contest due to soreness in his left thumb, and his next chance to play will come Saturday against Minnesota. The rookie out of UConn has received inconsistent playing time for Memphis thus far, and his absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation with Ja Morant (shoulder), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Desmond Bane (ankle) all returning Thursday.

Questionable for Thursday Spencer (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Spencer might be unable to take the floor Thursday against Houston due to soreness in his left thumb. The 24-year-old guard has played in only 10 games for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 43.3 percent from the floor and 31.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Logs meaningful minutes in win Spencer accumulated two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix.

Impact Spencer played at least 16 minutes for the second straight game, sliding up in the rotation as the Grizzlies continue to deal with multiple injuries. Prior to this two-game stretch, Spencer had suited up on just six occasions all season. As Memphis start to get healthy bodies back on the floor, Spencer will likely scale back his playing time, to the point where he may or may not be in the rotation.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in win Spencer notched zero points (0-1 FG) in two minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Spencer suited up for just the fifth time this season, playing two minutes during garbage time. It's been an underwhelming start to his career, averaging 4.2 points and 1.4 assists in 11.2 minutes per game. The Grizzlies are blessed with a deep roster, preventing Spencer from stepping into a consistent role. Barring a miracle, Spencer is unlikely to feature as an every-night part of the rotation moving forward.

Impacts with 14 points Spencer contributed 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Spencer is making massive waves in the G League, so returns to the big-time club will happen as often as his two-way contract allows. Memphis' current depth chart lacks room for him, but the injury bug has already bitten the Grizzlies several times, especially in the backcourt. Spencer's presence will hold some value for the rotation, but he's still outside the realm of fantasy consideration.

Two assists in NBA debut Spencer (ankle) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in nine minutes in Wednesday's 117-111 win over the 76ers.

Impact A rookie second-round pick out of UConn, Spencer was cleared to make his NBA debut Wednesday after missing the Grizzlies' first 15 games of the season while recovering from a right ankle sprain. Due to the Grizzlies being without six players due to injury, Spencer was able to crack the rotation, albeit in a small role. Memphis could get Marcus Smart (illness), John Konchar (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) back for its next game Saturday in Chicago, in which case Spencer would be a prime candidate to exit the rotation. As a two-way player, Spencer is likely to spend considerable time in the G League once the Grizzlies reclaim some health at the NBA level.

Available vs. Philadelphia Spencer (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Spencer could see some minutes off the bench due to the absences of players such as Vince Williams (ankle), Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness). That said, he's not expected to see enough time to be a reliable fantasy alternative in any format.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to questionable Spencer (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Spencer was given an estimated timetable of three weeks back on Nov. 1, so his potential return would provide a big boost to Memphis. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are doubtful Wednesday and Vince Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, so Spencer could see some rotation minutes if he gets the green light to play.

Out at least three more weeks The Grizzlies announced Friday that Spencer (ankle) will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.

Impact Spencer sustained a right ankle sprain during the Las Vegas Summer League and was on track to return for training camp before concurrently suffering a talar stress reaction. Given he's on a two-way deal, when he's cleared to suit up, he'll presumably report to the G League's Memphis Hustle to begin his NBA career.

Still weeks away from playing Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Spencer (ankle) is "still a couple weeks away" from being ready for game action, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appea...

Impact The rookie second-round pick sustained what was believed to be a minor ankle sprain during the Las Vegas Summer League, but he remained a limited participant at the start of training camp and never saw any preseason action. Spencer's NBA debut looks like it will be delayed until at least November, and because he's occupying one of the Grizzlies' three two-way slots, he'll presumably pick up his first minutes in the G League with the Memphis Hustle rather than the parent club.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to start preseason Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said Monday that Spencer recently suffered an ankle sprain and that he will miss the beginning of preseason.

Impact Spencer was shut down at the end of the Summer League with a minor ankle sprain, but it's unclear if this is related. A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Spencer was already facing an uphill battle to crack the rotation prior to this injury.

Dealing with minor ankle sprain Spencer has been shut down for the remainder of Summer League due to a minor ankle sprain, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Zach Edey (ankle) has also been shut down, but both rookies are expected to be 100 percent healthy for training camp. Spencer, a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, was a sharpshooter in college at UConn but will have an uphill battle to make Memphis' initial roster as a rookie.

Shoots well from distance Spencer tallied 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes in Monday's 97-95 loss to the Jazz in the Salt Lake City Summer League.

Impact Spencer played to his strengths in his first Summer League action, scoring nine of 11 points from beyond the arc. It's well known that the rookie out of UConn can knock down big shots, as he converted on 44.0 percent of his tries from three during his final collegiate season (40 games), so look for the guard to continue to fire from long distance during his transition to the next level. Spencer also showed upside on the glass Monday night by snagging three rebounds despite there being a shortage behind Zach Edey's 15-rebound performance.

JULY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to two-way deal Spencer signed a two-way contract with Memphis on Monday.

Impact Spencer was drafted with the No. 53 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and has since put pen to paper on a two-way deal. This contract will allow him to continue his development and see regular playing time in the G League while also making him available to contribute at the NBA level as needed.
