Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Double-doubles in win
Cedric 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
Cedric 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 Memphis 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: Rolls to third double-double
Cedric 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: Doubtful for Saturday
Cedric Coward is doubtful for Saturday's game in Cleveland due to right foot soreness.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.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Shooting woes continue Wednesday
Cedric 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.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.
