Cedric Coward Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) and guard Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver, with Coward resting a sore right knee and Clayton sidelined by a right calf contusion. The short-handed backcourt opens minutes for Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr., who combined for 30 points and 11 assists in the last outing, while Cam Spencer and Jaylen Wells should see expanded roles. Jerome profiles as the top streamer, with Pippen a viable deep-league add until Memphis gets healthier.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He hurt his right knee in Monday's loss to Golden State, and the injury will likely keep Coward sidelined for at least one game. Coward has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign as a regular starter in Memphis, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Taylor Hendricks are set to have more fantasy appeal with Coward on the shelf. The former replaced the 22-year-old in the starting lineup for the second half on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Monday against Golden State after missing Saturday, indicating he has been cleared to return. His availability likely sends Jahmai Mashack back to a reserve role after Mashack logged 30 minutes with 8 points, two three-pointers, one rebound, one assist, and six steals. Coward had been trending up before the injury and now looks like a long-term hold, especially with Memphis' season tilting toward development and Ja Morant (elbow) still sidelined. Usage and minutes should remain stable.

Memphis Grizzlies rookie guard Cedric Coward (ankle) is listed as available to play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coward has missed the previous two games with a left ankle sprain but is off the injury report and will return Friday. The rookie has been a lone bright spot for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in just under 27 minutes per game. With Ja Morant (calf) and other key Memphis players ruled out Friday, Coward may have to step up despite missing the past two games. The ninth-overall pick should be in fantasy lineups tonight as the Grizzlies face a beat-up Thunder team.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coward is in danger of missing his third straight contest after suffering a left ankle sprain during Sunday's contest. The absence of Coward has led to increased playing time for GG Jackson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Both players should be viewed as low-end streaming options if Coward misses a third straight game.

The Memphis Grizzlies may face the San Antonio Spurs without their starting backcourt on Tuesday night. Point guard Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful with a calf contusion, while Cedric Coward (ankle) has already been ruled out. If Morant is unable to go, it will be his second consecutive game on the sidelines. This will be the second game Coward has missed this season. Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is probable to make his return after missing the last eight games. He, Pat Spencer, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be responsible for most of the backcourt minutes tonight, should Morant sit.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (heel) is officially active for Friday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Coward missed Tuesday's game against Utah dealing with a left heel issue but is able to fight through it tonight. The rookie has been a very solid piece of Memphis' rotation this year and is averaging 15.1 PPG, 7.6 RPG and 4.0 APG over his last seven games. Milwaukee's defense has been spotty at times, giving Coward more potential tonight. Fantasy managers and DFS players should both target Coward for their starting lineups.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (heel) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Milwaukee after not dressing in the previous game. If Coward remains sidelined, Memphis would likely continue spreading wing minutes across a thin rotation. Cam Spencer handled added responsibility last time out, finishing with 11 points and 13 assists in 32 minutes, while Jaylen Wells also logged 32 minutes, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope picked up extra wing run. When active, Coward has typically remained in the starting group, providing a more stable wing presence.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cedric Coward (heel) won't play on Tuesday against Utah, marking his first absence of the 2025 campaign. The Grizzlies are also down Ja Morant (ankle), Brandon Clarke (calf), and Vince Williams Jr. (knee), meaning fantasy managers could see additional statistical contributions from Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer, Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Jock Landale, making them all must-start fantasy options on Tuesday night. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who had 16 points in Monday's loss to OKC, should also be more involved than usual.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cedric Coward (foot) is available for Saturday's matchup with the Cavs. He was listed as doubtful on Friday night. Fortunately, the rookie was upgraded to questionable before ultimately getting the green light to suit up. Coward has played well in his first year in the National Basketball Association, averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. However, he's starting on Saturday, so he may be even more productive.
