Cedric Coward News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Fails to return Monday Coward (knee) didn't return to Monday's game against Golden State. He finished the night with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 12 minutes before ex...

Impact The severity of Coward's injury is unclear at this time, as the team is simply calling it a right knee issue for now. He can be considered day-to-day until Memphis has more information to share on his availability going forward.

Unlikely to return Coward is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right knee injury.

Impact Coward shook off a shoulder injury and was cleared to play Monday, but he's since suffered a knee injury. Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could see more playing time in the second half if Coward is unable to return.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Coward (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact The rookie first-rounder did not play in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to a shoulder injury. It appears Coward has been cleared to return Monday, which will likely lead to Jahmai Mashack reverting to a bench role. Coward has averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.3 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Coward (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact As expected, Coward will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to right shoulder soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Warriors. The Grizzlies will be extremely shorthanded in the backcourt Saturday, so Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Walter Clayton and Jahmai Mashack will likely see increased playing time.

Doubtful Saturday Coward (shoulder) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Coward is likely to miss the second half of this back-to-back set due to right shoulder soreness. Jaylen Wells (shoulder) is also doubtful, so Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jahmai Mashack and Walter Clayton could all see a significant bump in playing time, especially if Cam Spencer (ankle) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Chips in 11 points in loss Coward closed Friday's 135-115 loss to Portland with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 25 minutes.

Impact The three steals tied Coward's career high, while the eight boards represented the rookie's best effort on the glass since Jan. 11. Coward's production can still wobble at times -- he's failed to score in double digits three times in the last seven games -- but since missing time in early January due to an ankle sprain, the 22-year-old guard is averaging 13.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.2 combined steals and blocks in 26.3 minutes over the last 13 contests.

Nets 13 points with five assists Coward closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Coward committed some careless turnovers, which resulted in the rookie spending some extra time on the bench, and he was a minus-13 in the eight-point defeat. It wasn't his best game, but Coward will look to get things back on track Saturday versus the Timberwolves.

Scores with high efficiency Coward totaled 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Coward had a bounce-back performance against the Hornets. After shooting just 23-percent for eight points in his last game, he was much more accurate with his shot Wednesday on his way to 17 points and five assists. The 11th overall pick in last year's draft currently averages the fourth most points per game among all rookies.

Struggles with shot Coward closed with eight points (3-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 108-99 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Coward had a brutal night shooting the ball, but his fantasy managers will likely be pleased with the usage. He remains mostly a late-round fantasy play, posting averages of 13.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Nets 17 points with three stocks Coward produced 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Coward was strong defensively against Nickeil Alexander-Walker, limiting him to 11 points on 3-for-11 shooting. The rookie also knocked down a clutch triple with just over a minute remaining in regulation to pull Memphis within one, but unfortunately, the Grizzlies weren't able to get the job done. Memphis has now lost four of its last six games and is 9-12 at home.
