Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Logs meaningful minutes in win
Rotowire
Spencer accumulated two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix.
Spencer played at least 16 minutes for the second straight game, sliding up in the rotation as the Grizzlies continue to deal with multiple injuries. Prior to this two-game stretch, Spencer had suited up on just six occasions all season. As Memphis starts to get healthy bodies back on the floor, Spencer will likely scale back his playing time to the point where he may not be in the rotation.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Puts up 14 points in blowout win
Rotowire
Spencer contributed 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 victory over the Wizards.
Spencer hadn't seen action for the NBA club since Nov. 23, but the two-way player was summoned from the G League to provide depth Sunday while Ja Morant (back) and Desmond Bane (toe) were sidelined. While the rookie second-round pick came through with a well-rounded line off the bench, he could find himself back outside of the rotation if Morant and Bane are back in action for the Grizzlies' next game Friday versus the Nets.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Spencer was given an estimated timetable of three weeks back on Nov. 1, so his potential return would provide a big boost to Memphis. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are doubtful Wednesday and Vince Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, so Spencer could see some rotation minutes if he gets the green light to play.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Out at least three more weeks
Rotowire
The Grizzlies announced Friday that Spencer (ankle) will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.
Spencer sustained a right ankle sprain during the Las Vegas Summer League and was on track to return for training camp before concurrently suffering a talar stress reaction. Given he's on a two-way deal, when he's cleared to suit up, he'll presumably report to the G League's Memphis Hustle to begin his NBA career.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Limited to start preseason
Rotowire
Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said Monday that Spencer recently suffered an ankle sprain and will miss the beginning of preseason, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Spencer was shut down at the end of the Summer League with a minor ankle sprain, but it's unclear if this is related. A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Spencer was already facing an uphill battle to crack the rotation before this injury.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Headed to Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies selected Spencer with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Spencer was a five-year collegiate player who stepped into the spotlight after transferring to UConn for his final season in 2023-24. He helped lead the Huskies to their second straight national title, averaging 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals over 33.0 minutes per contest in 40 total appearances. If Spencer is able to carve out a career at the NBA level, it will likely be on the back of his elite shooting ability, as he converted 44 percent of his 5.6 three-point attempts per contest at UConn.
