Double-doubles Sunday Coward delivered 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Sunday's 123-112 win over the Kings.

Impact Coward recorded his first double-double of the season and posted another efficient performance while surpassing the 30-minute plateau for the first time in 2026-27. His efficient perimeter shooting also provided a boost, as he connected on three of five attempts from beyond the arc. It's still early in the season, but Coward's consistent playing time and rebounding production are encouraging for fantasy managers, although his scoring opportunities could fluctuate alongside Memphis' other offensive options.

Impact Coward will miss Friday's contest due to a left wrist sprain, and his next chance to suit up will come Sunday against Sacramento. With the 23-year-old swingman sidelined, Jerami Grant, Scotty Pippen, Cam Spencer and GG Jackson are all candidates for a bump in minutes.

Impact Coward didn't need to shoulder much of the scoring load with Ty Jerome dominating offensively, but the second-year wing made an impact on the glass and finished with a plus-23 rating. His 28-minute workload suggests he'll remain an important part of Memphis' young rotation, though his scoring opportunities could fluctuate depending on the team's other offensive options.

Decent line in preseason finale Coward amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-98 preseason win over the Hornets.

Impact Coward delivered his best preseason performance after failing to reach double figures in his previous three outings. An excellent fantasy breakout candidate, the second-year wing should be in Memphis' first unit when the regular season tips off.

Stuffs stat sheet in preseason victory Coward recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.

Impact Coward drew the start and contributed across the board despite attempting only six shots. The wing's four assists were particularly encouraging, and he ranked tied for second among Memphis players in both rebounds and assists. Coward has generated plenty of fantasy interest heading into the campaign, and his ability to contribute without requiring significant offensive volume gives him multiple avenues toward fantasy relevance. He's in the mix to open the 2026-27 regular season in a starting role, and a solid showing in preseason will boost his case to crack the first unit.

In mix to start Coward appears to be in the mix for a starting role entering the preseason, Damichael Cole of The Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Memphis experimented with several lineup combinations during training camp, with Coward, Jaylen Wells and Jerami Grant among the team's options on the wing. Coward and Wells have already logged significant minutes together, and the second-year wing's ability to fit alongside multiple backcourt combinations could help his chances of securing a prominent role.

Impact Coward continued his strong play at Summer League on Sunday, matching Cameron Boozer with a team-high 19 points on impressive efficiency. Coward excelled from beyond the arc, connecting on each of his five three-point attempts.

Drops 23 points in win Coward finished with 23 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 96-64 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Impact Coward recorded a double-double in his first two appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League. Although he hasn't reached that mark since, he finished with 23 points Thursday, his highest-scoring performance during his time in Las Vegas. The 2025 No. 11 overall pick is coming off a quality 2025-26 campaign, averaging 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 25.8 minutes in 62 regular-season appearances. As long as Coward can stay healthy, he is expected to build on his production from last season in 2026-27.

Rough shooting night Monday Coward finished with 17 points (7-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 96-88 Summer League loss to Dallas.

Impact Coward recorded his second consecutive double-double Monday. However, he continued to struggle shooting the ball and has now gone 3-for-14 from deep in his two Las Vegas Summer League appearances. Turnovers have also been an issue, with the 22-year-old committing eight during that span. Coward is anticipated to play a prominent role for the Grizzlies during the 2026-27 campaign, so his performances in Las Vegas likely won't affect him one way or another. Memphis plays again Tuesday versus the Warriors, though it wouldn't be surprising if Coward sat out to rest.

Delivers another strong performance Coward finished with 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 30 minutes in Friday's 97-96 Summer League victory over Chicago.

Impact Coward appeared in 62 regular-season games as a rookie in 2025-26, averaging 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.6 steals over 25.8 minutes. Since he also played in the Salt Lake City Summer League, it's unclear how much more action he will see during his time in Las Vegas. However, even if the 22-year-old doesn't suit up again this summer, he's already expected to hold a prominent role for a Grizzlies team that no longer has Ja Morant on the roster.
