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: Could return Friday
Coward (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Coward (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.

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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Doesn't return Sunday
Coward (ankle) exited Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers in the second quarter and did not return.
Coward landed on an opposing player's foot and injured his left ankle after playing just under 13 minutes. He finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal. Despite not playing at all in the second half, the rookie first-rounder still ended the game as Memphis' second-leading scorer. Coward's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Spurs. If he's forced to miss time, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and GG Jackson are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Coward recorded his fifth double-double of the season, and the rookie continues to perform at a high level now that he's entrenched as a starter in Memphis' backcourt.

Coward recorded 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 107-98 win over the Clippers.
Coward notched the fourth double-double of his career in this one, and he also set a new career high in rebounds. The rookie had been in a shooting funk in the three games prior, going just 11-for-34 from the floor, so it was nice to see him come through with an efficient scoring performance. He'll look to keep it going Sunday versus Portland.
