Cedric Coward News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Another solid showing Coward posted 19 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Thursday's 137-96 win over the Kings.

Impact Coward was unable to reach the second double-double for the first time this season. Still, the rookie out of WSU was certainly keeping close tabs ahead of this game, and several NBA teams should be keeping close tabs on him due to his solid display. Coward was the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Rolls to third double-double Coward provided 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Coward drew his second straight start Tuesday and posted another effective all-around showing. He was certainly feeling it from beyond the arc, where he fell one made triple shy of a new season high. With Ja Morant (calf) expected to miss at least another two weeks, expect Coward and Jaren Jackson to remain key contributors moving forward.

Gets starting nod Coward (foot) will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Coward entered the morning with a doubtful tag, and then was later upgraded to questionable. He has since been given the green light to play, and he's set up to make his first start of his career at the NBA level. The rookie continues to trend up as one of the few bright spots on this team to open the season.

Upgraded to questionable Coward (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Coward was initially considered doubtful for this contest. Presumably, he'll warm up before a final decision is made on his status. If he's held out, players such as Cam Spencer, Vince Williams and John Konchar could be more involved for the Grizzlies.

Doubtful for Saturday Coward is doubtful for Saturday's game in Cleveland due to right foot soreness.

Impact The foot issue could help explain why Coward has gone ice cold from distance recently, so perhaps some time off will help him get things back on track. With Coward not expected to play Saturday, there should be more minutes available for Cam Spencer, Vince Williams and John Konchar.

Shooting woes continue Wednesday Coward accumulated 12 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 loss to Boston.

Impact While Coward was shooting the lights out to begin the year, he's gone ice cold over the past three games, and it's been particularly brutal from three-point range. He's converted just four of his 17 three-point attempts over this three-game stretch to go with averages of 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest. He should bust out of the funk soon enough, though, and with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope exiting Wednesday's game with an elbow issue, Coward could be looking at a potential starting role for Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Records two blocks in loss Coward closed with 11 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Coward had one of his worst performances offensively, which is more of a credit to his stellar rookie campaign, and he was able to make up for it defensively by recording two steals and two blocks. He is averaging 14.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.7 threes per game.

Goes for 21 points Friday Coward finished Friday's 118-104 win over the Mavericks with 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes.

Impact There's a strong argument to say Coward was the Grizzlies' best player in this win, as he was among the team's best scorers and finished just one rebound shy of a double-double. Coward has scored in double digits in all but two of his 10 games off the bench, and the rookie has done a good job of making the most of his minutes out there. He's averaging a productive 15.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game through his first 10 games in the NBA.
