Top Cedric Coward News

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Doubtful for Thursday

    Coward is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against Dallas due to right knee injury management.

    Coward is likely to be held out of the opening leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set for rest purposes. With several of Coward's teammates also listed as out or doubtful, Memphis could be forced to lean on Javon Small, Cam Spencer (back), Jahmai Mashack and Rayan Rupert in the backcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Double-doubles in return

    Coward logged 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during the Grizzlies' 139-129 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.

    Coward was back in action Tuesday after missing Monday's loss to the Nets due to a lingering knee injury. He was moved back into the starting lineup and made an impact on the boards, tying a career high in rebounds (including seven on offense). Coward will continue to have his minutes monitored while managing his knee injury, but he's been productive even with limited run time.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Back in starting five

    Coward is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday.

    Coward was cleared to play Tuesday after missing Monday's loss against the Nets due to a knee injury, and the rookie first-rounder will start for Memphis in his return. In his last outing against the Clippers on Saturday, Coward played 22 minutes and finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, one block and two three-pointers (on eight attempts).

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Omitted from injury report

    Coward (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

    Coward didn't play in Monday's loss in Brooklyn, but he'll be back in action for the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set. He's appeared in only three games since Feb. 6, coming off the bench in his past two outings. With Scotty Pippen (toe) out and Walter Clayton (ankle) questionable, Coward may slide back into the starting lineup for the first time since Feb. 9, but he'll likely still be under a minutes restriction.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Officially out

    Coward (knee) won't play Monday against the Nets.

    Coward was downgraded to doubtful ahead of Monday's matchup, so the fact that he's been ruled out isn't much of a surprise. This should open up plenty of opportunities for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer in the backcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Unlikely to play Monday

    Coward is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right knee injury management.

    Coward has appeared in two of the team's last three games, but he appears set to miss Monday's contest as he continues to nurse a knee injury. If he is officially ruled out, more minutes will be available for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Not listed on injury report

    Coward (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

    The rookie first-rounder missed Wednesday's loss to Portland -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to right knee injury management. However, he's set to return Saturday. His return to the lineup will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jahmai Mashack, Javon Small and Rayan Rupert. Coward has appeared in just one outing since the All-Star break, posting 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Won't play Wednesday

    Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Coward will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be able to get back out there for Saturday's meeting with the Clippers. With Coward out, expect more minutes for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Doubtful for Wednesday

    Coward (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.

    As expected, the Grizzlies are planning to hold Coward out for maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie returned from a seven-game absence Tuesday against the Timberwolves and finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Fares well off bench

    Coward (knee) finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Back in action after a seven-game absence due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, Coward was deployed off the bench and had his minutes managed, but he made the most of his time on the court. The Grizzlies have been cautious with all their key players coming off of injuries, so Coward could be a candidate to sit out Wednesday against the Trail Blazers in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Not starting in return

    Coward (knee) won't start against Minnesota on Tuesday.

    Coward is available to play following a seven-game absence due to a right knee sprain, though he'll come off the bench and will presumably operate under a minutes restriction. Over his last 10 outings, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Cleared to play Tuesday

    Coward (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Coward will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right knee sprain. With the rookie first-rounder back in action, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton could see fewer minutes. Coward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.2 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Trending in right direction

    Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said that Coward (knee), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, is trending toward playing, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

    Coward is on track to shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right knee sprain. If the rookie first-rounder is cleared to play, fewer minutes would be available for the likes of Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Javon Small. Over his last 10 appearances, Coward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Questionable for Tuesday

    Coward (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

    Coward has missed seven consecutive games due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, though the questionable tag offers some optimism for a return in the near future. On the season, the rookie is averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 46.8 percent shooting from the field and 34.0 percent from beyond the arc across 48 appearances (35 starts). Should Coward remain out Tuesday, Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see increased opportunities.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Not playing Sunday

    Coward (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Coward will be sidelined for a seventh straight game due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, but he appears to be closing in on a return. Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Wednesday that the rookie first-round pick has been increasing his on-court practice activity in recent days, which was supported by the Grizzlies' decision to list him as doubtful heading into Sunday's contest. If Coward is able to fit in another practice Monday, he could have a shot at playing Tuesday in Minnesota.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Coward (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    It appears as though Coward will miss a seventh consecutive game while recovering from a right knee sprain, and the Grizzlies will likely take things slow with the rookie first-rounder, given that the team is not contending for a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Jaylen Wells, Walter Clayton and Rayan Rupert should continue to operate in elevated roles for as long as Coward is sidelined.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Ruled out for Friday

    Coward (knee) is out for Friday's game against Dallas.

    A sprained knee is resulting in a sixth consecutive absence for the rookie swingman, and it doesn't look like Memphis is in a rush to get Coward back onto the floor. The injury-plagued Grizzlies should once again turn to Jaylen Wells for an expanded role, and Rayan Rupert has a clearer path to minutes as well.

  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Out again Wednesday

    Coward (knee) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Warriors.

    Coward will be sidelined for a fifth straight game due to an injury that the Grizzlies are now labeling as a right posterior capsule sprain, after he had previously been listed with a hyperextended knee. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said shortly after the All-Star break ended that Coward is making progress in his recovery, but the rookie isn't believed to have resumed practicing with the team. With the 21-35 Grizzlies well removed from playoff contention, expect the team to take a conservative approach with bringing Coward back from the knee injury.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Out again Monday

    Coward (knee) will remain on the sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Kings.

    Monday will mark Coward's fourth straight absence, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's meeting with the Warriors. Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to pick up the slack in Coward's absence.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Remains out Saturday

    Coward (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    Coward will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to recover from a hyperextended right knee. The rookie's absence further thins a Memphis backcourt that is already missing Ja Morant (elbow) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger). With Coward out again, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer should pick up most of the backcourt usage Saturday. Coward's next opportunity to play will arrive Monday against the Kings.
