Spencer supplied two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Spencer matched his season low with two points, continuing to play off the bench behind Ty Jerome. Despite what has been a breakout campaign, Spencer's long-term fantasy value remains somewhat of a mystery. He now has plenty of competition for playing time, having to deal with the likes of Jerome, Scottie Pippen, Walter Clayton (calf) and eventually, Ja Morant (elbow). Spencer remains a soft hold in standard formats, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him let go in a few spots, given the uncertainty.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Spencer will miss the tail end of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set due to a sore right ankle. The 25-year-old's absence could mean more opportunities for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Spencer's next chance to play will come Monday at Golden State.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Spencer is dealing with right ankle soreness and is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the 25-year-old guard isn't cleared to suit up, Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would likely see increased playing time, especially if Cedric Coward (shoulder) and Jaylen Wells (shoulder) are downgraded from doubtful to out.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Pops for team-high 18 in loss
Rotowire
Spencer amassed 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 135-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The second-year guard led Memphis in scoring on the night, coming off the bench for a fourth straight game. The team's backcourt is getting crowded even with Ja Morant (elbow) still sidelined, as Ty Jerome (calf) made his season debut Jan. 31 and Scotty Pippen (toe) followed Friday, and the Grizzlies seem more comfortable having Spencer in the second unit. Over the last three games in that role, he's averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 threes and 2.3 boards in 26.0 minutes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Nets 16 points on seven shots
Rotowire
Spencer contributed 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to the Pelicans.
Spencer was uber-efficient Friday evening, with his first, and only miss, not coming until midway through the fourth quarter. The sophomore guard has been heating up over the past four games, churning out top-80 value behind averages of 11.5 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Hands out 13 assists
Rotowire
Spencer finished with five points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-99 loss to the Rockets.
Spencer matched his season-best mark of 13 assists, a figure he's reached three times this campaign. This wasn't Spencer's best night shooting the ball, but he looks poised to have some solid fantasy appeal in the absence of Ja Morant (elbow). Across 12 starts this season, Spencer holds averages of 11.7 points, 9.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Quiet in loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Spencer racked up seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Spencer scored in single digits for the second straight game, a worrying trend for anyone still rostering him. With Ja Morant now healthy and playing his best basketball of the season, it appears that Spencer's role could be declining. With that said, Morant's next injury could be just around the corner, giving Spencer a slightly longer shelf-life. He remains a soft hold, specifically for managers needing assists and threes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Spencer (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Spencer is set to miss his first game of the season due to personal reasons, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday against the Wizards. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Vince Williams and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are likely to see increased playing time, while Jahmai Mashack and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates to enter the rotation.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Hits for 27 points in victory
Rotowire
Spencer logged 27 points (9-13 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 121-103 win over the Clippers.
Spencer was scintillating beyond the arc, drilling seven of his 10 three-point attempts in the win. Monday marked the first time that Spencer passed the 30-minute threshold, and if Ja Morant's (ankle) injury persists after the upcoming two-day break, the second-year pro will be in line for another usage bump.

Spencer recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's 107-98 victory over the Clippers.
The second-year guard is emerging as the floor general for the Grizzlies' second unit. Spencer has drained multiple three-pointers and scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 15.7 points, 5.1 assists, 3.0 threes, 2.3 boards and 0.7 steals in 24.1 minutes a contest over that stretch. With Ty Jerome (calf) not expected to make his season debut until January, Spencer has a clear path to cementing his expanded role in the Memphis backcourt.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Hits three triples in loss
Rotowire
Spencer produced 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-115 loss to Denver.
Spencer continues to take advantage of Ja Morant's (calf) absence, scoring at least 15 points in three of his last four appearances. While Morant remains sidelined, Spencer will continue to see increased usage and could be a productive add in deep fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Spencer ended Saturday's 102-96 victory over the Mavericks with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes.
Spencer remains the backup point guard behind Vince Williams, having now logged at least 24 minutes in four of his past five games. He has scored at least 15 points in two of his past three appearances and is providing adequate assist and steal numbers. Those in slightly deeper formats may want to give him a look.

Rotowire
Spencer contributed 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks.
Spencer has been getting good usage off the bench as the backup point guard, averaging 9.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 threes per game. When Ty Jerome (calf) inevitably returns to the mix, his role may be a little murkier, but expect Spencer to continue contributing among the second unit.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Hands out six assists
Rotowire
Spencer recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 victory over the Suns.
Spencer produced his best game of the young campaign with season-high marks in minutes (19) and assists (6) as the Grizzlies improved to 3-2. Spencer seems to have pulled ahead as the eighth man in the rotation, but keep in mind that the Grizzlies are currently far from full strength with several guys still injured.
