Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Sitting out Rising Stars Game
The Grizzlies announced that Coward (knee) won't play Friday in the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars Game at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
The rookie first-round pick missed the Grizzlies' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday in Denver due to right knee soreness, so he'll err on the side of caution by sitting out Friday's exhibition. With some extended rest on tap during the All-Star break, Coward could be ready to play in the Grizzlies' next game Feb. 20 against the Jazz.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Won't play Wednesday
Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Coward will sit out Memphis' final game before the All-Star break, giving him a full 10 days to rest his sore right knee. The Grizzlies return with a back-to-back out of the break, however, leaving his status for next Friday's matchup against Utah up in the air. For now, he should be considered questionable for that one. Expect more minutes for Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Wednesday evening.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Tabbed doubtful
Coward (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Coward picked up a right knee injury during Monday's game against the Warriors, and the issue is likely to prevent him from suiting up Wednesday. With Walter Clayton (calf) also doubtful, Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack could take on expanded roles.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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 exiting.
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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Unlikely to return
Coward is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right knee injury.
Coward shook off a shoulder injury and was cleared to play Monday, but he's since suffered a knee injury. Scotty Pippen started the second half in his place, but Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should also factor into the mix in the second half if Coward is unable to return.

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

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

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

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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.
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-plus-blocks in 26.3 minutes over the last 13 contests.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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.
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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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.
Coward had a bounce-back performance against the Hornets. After shooting just 23 percent for eight points in Houston on Monday, he was more accurate with his shot Wednesday. The 2025 No. 11 overall pick is averaging the fourth-most points per game among all rookies.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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.
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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: 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.
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 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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Busy from downtown in loss
Coward had 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Magic in Berlin.
The rookie guard is seeing big volume from beyond the arc, attempting more than six threes in back-to-back games for the first time since late November. Coward has drained multiple treys in seven of his last 10 games, averaging 15.6 points, 7.6 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.0 threes in 25.7 minutes over that stretch.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Comes up big in Sunday's win
Coward racked up 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 win over the Nets.
The 21 points led all scorers on the afternoon, and Coward's final bucket was a three-pointer inside the final minute that put the Grizzlies ahead for good. The rookie guard has drained multiple treys in six of his last nine games, averaging 15.4 points, 8.1 boards, 3.2 assists and 1.9 threes in 25.6 minutes over that stretch.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Solid line in return
Coward (ankle) supplied 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder.
Back in action following a two-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, Coward hit the glass hard and got easy points at the charity stripe, but he also committed some careless turnovers and finished with a season-high five giveaways. The turnovers were a team-wide issue, with Memphis committing 17 on the evening compared to Oklahoma City's six, and the Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 25-5 in points off turnovers.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Cleared to play vs. OKC
Coward (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Coward has been given the green light to play Friday after missing the Grizzlies' last two games due to a sprained left ankle, and his return should result in GG Jackson reverting to a bench role. Coward entered Memphis' starting lineup permanently Nov. 15 against the Cavaliers, and in his 21 outings since he has averaged 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.7 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Could return Friday
Coward (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Coward is in danger of missing his third straight game while dealing with a left ankle sprain. Vince Williams (knee) is also questionable, meaning Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be in for big nights if either player is eventually ruled out.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Another absence coming
Coward (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
Coward will be sidelined for a second straight game Wednesday, with his next chance to play coming Friday against the Thunder. GG Jackson logged 22 minutes Tuesday against the Spurs, but he didn't have much success with two points (1-6 FG), seven boards and one assist.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Ruled out with ankle sprain
Coward is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.
Coward turned his ankle in Sunday's defeat to the Lakers and needs to sit out at least one contest to recuperate. The rookie first-rounder faces a quick turnaround Wednesday against the Suns. GG Jackson started the second half Sunday, and it's possible either he or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will replace Coward in the starting lineup Tuesday.
