Cedric Coward Fantasy Stats

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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (foot) is listed as doubtful for the team's Saturday afternoon game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team's official injury report notes that the rookie is dealing with soreness in his right foot. If Coward is unable to suit up, it will be the first game he has missed in his professional career. The 11th overall pick has been one of the more exciting rookies in the league, averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 26.8 minutes of action per game. However, he has struggled with his shot as of late, and the foot soreness could be to blame.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cedric Coward (shoulder) stated he's "100% cleared" for full basketball activities. The rookie, selected with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, sustained a torn rotator cuff six games into the 2025 season at Washington State, requiring surgery. Fortunately, he won't have any restrictions or limitations heading into the 2025 campaign. Coward appeared in 73 games at the collegiate level, most recently averaging 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks with the Cougars in 2024-25. The injury may have set Coward back in terms of his development to begin the 2025 campaign, so he won't be an ideal redraft option. On the other hand, fantasy managers can stash him in dynasty formats.
