EDGE Analysis

Back in action after a seven-game absence due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, Coward was deployed off the bench and had his minutes managed, but he made the most of his time on the court.

Coward (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Coward has missed seven consecutive games due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, though the questionable tag offers some optimism for a return in the near future. On the season, the rookie is averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 46.8 percent shooting from the field and 34.0 percent from beyond the arc across 48 appearances (35 starts).

EDGE Analysis

Coward will be sidelined for a seventh straight game due to a right knee posterior capsule sprain, but he appears to be closing in on a return. Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Wednesday that the rookie first-round pick has been increasing his on-court practice activity in recent days, which was supported by the Grizzlies' decision to list him as doubtful heading into Sunday's contest. If Coward is able to fit in another practice Monday, he could have a shot at playing Tuesday in Minnesota.

Coward (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

It appears as though Coward will miss a seventh consecutive game while recovering from a right knee sprain, and the Grizzlies will likely take things slow with the rookie first-rounder, given that the team is not contending for a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Jaylen Wells, Walter Clayton and Rayan Rupert should continue to operate in elevated roles for as long as Coward is sidelined.

Coward (knee) is out for Friday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

A sprained knee is resulting in a sixth consecutive absence for the rookie swingman, and it doesn't look like Memphis is in a rush to get Coward back onto the floor. The injury-plagued Grizzlies should once again turn to Jaylen Wells for an expanded role, and Rayan Rupert has a clearer path to minutes as well.
