Back in starting five Coward is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday.

Impact Coward was cleared to play Tuesday after missing Monday's loss against the Nets due to a knee injury, and the rookie first-rounder will start for Memphis in his return.

Omitted from injury report Coward (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Coward didn't play in Monday's loss in Brooklyn, but he'll be back in action for the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set. He's appeared in only three games since Feb. 6, coming off the bench in his past two outings. With Scotty Pippen (toe) out and Walter Clayton (ankle) questionable, Coward may slide back into the starting lineup for the first time since Feb. 9, but he'll likely still be under a minutes restriction.

Not listed on injury report Coward (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The rookie first-rounder missed Wednesday's loss to Portland -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to right knee injury management. However, he's set to return Saturday. His return to the lineup will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jahmai Mashack, Javon Small and Rayan Rupert. Coward has appeared in just one outing since the All-Star break, posting 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota.

Won't play Wednesday Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Coward will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be able to get back out there for Saturday's meeting with the Clippers. With Coward out, expect more minutes for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer.

Doubtful for Wednesday Coward (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Impact As expected, the Grizzlies are planning to hold Coward out for maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie returned from a seven-game absence Tuesday against the Timberwolves and finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes.

Fares well off bench Coward (knee) finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Coward returned from a seven-game absence Tuesday and played a limited role off the bench, but he made the most of his minutes. The Grizzlies have been super cautious with all their key players, making it unlikely that Coward will suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Back in action after a seven-game absence due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, Coward was deployed off the bench and had his minutes managed, but he made the most of his time on the court. The Grizzlies have been cautious with all their key players coming off of injuries, so Coward could be a candidate to sit out Wednesday against the Trail Blazers in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Coward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.2 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.
