• Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Double-doubles in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Modest numbers in Sunday's start

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Coward racked up 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 victory over the Kings. Making his eighth straight start, Coward scored in double digits for the fifth time during that span. The 11th overall pick in the 2025 Draft has been getting his starting opportunity while Ja Morant (calf) has been on the shelf, but the duo started together during the Nov. 15 contest in which Morant got injured, so it's not clear what the plan will be once the Grizzlies star gets healthy. During Morant's seven-game absence, Coward is averaging 11.6 points, 5.7 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.6 threes in 28.1 minutes a contest.

• Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Another solid showing

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  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. Coward couldn't post a second straight double-double, but he scored in double digits for the seventh consecutive appearance. Coward was the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and has been one of the best rookies in the NBA, averaging 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game since the beginning of November.

• Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Rolls to third double-double

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  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. Coward drew his second straight start Tuesday and posted another productive 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.

• Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Gets starting nod

  23D ago • By RotoWire

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