Availability
Cedric Coward (knee) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Coward is dealing with a knee issue of some kind that he suffered during Monday's loss to the Warriors. It is expected to leave him sidelined on Wednesday, and he may also miss more time beyond that game while he recovers. Look for Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer to benefit from his likely absence.
Cedric Coward is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Coward did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. His return doesn't impact the Grizzlies rotation for fantasy managers.
Cedric Coward scored 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3P, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds and five assists in the Grizzlies' 112-97 loss to the Hornets.
Fantasy Impact
Coward bounced back after a rough shooting night against Houston back on Monday with an efficient performance on Wednesday. The rookie has developed into a reliable floor play with upside for fantasy managers.
Cedric Coward scored 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3PT) and grabbed seven rebounds in the Grizzlies' 124-122 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night. He added two steals and a block.
Fantasy Impact
Coward has now reached double figures in scoring in six of his seven January games, and in 16 of his last 17 games overall. The 11th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft should get some consideration for Rookie of the Year honors as he is averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 39 games with Memphis.
Cedric Coward put up 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and blocked two shots in Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Fantasy Impact
Coward was one of Memphis' most effective scorers on Thursday, scoring 17 points in the team's loss to the Magic. He is emerging as a quality player for the Grizzlies right now and should continue to be a good fantasy option for as long as Ja Morant (calf) remains out of the lineup moving forward.
