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). Should Coward remain out Tuesday, Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see increased opportunities.

Coward (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

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.

Coward (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Coward will be sidelined for a fifth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. He should be considered questionable at best for Friday against Dallas.

Coward (knee) will remain on the sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Monday will mark Coward's fourth straight absence, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's meeting with the Warriors. Walter Clayton, Cam Spencer and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to pick up the slack in Coward's absence.

Coward (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Coward will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to recover from a hyperextended right knee. The rookie's absence further thins a Memphis backcourt that is already missing Ja Morant (elbow) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger). With Coward out again, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer should pick up most of the backcourt usage Saturday. Coward's next opportunity to play will arrive Monday against the Kings.

Coward (knee) won't play in Friday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Coward will miss his second consecutive contest due to a hyperextended right knee, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday against Miami. With the rookie first-rounder joining Ja Morant (elbow), Scotty Pippen (toe), Ty Jerome (calf) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) on the sidelines, Cam Spencer, Jahmai Mashack and Javon Small are candidates for increased playing time, especially if Walter Clayton (calf) is downgraded from doubtful to out.

Coward (knee) will miss the Rising Stars Game on Friday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The standout rookie will play it safe and sit out this exhibition. He missed the final game before the All-Star break, and it's unclear if his knee soreness will prevent him from suiting up Feb. 20 against the Jazz.

Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Coward will sit out Memphis' final game before the All-Star break, giving him a full 10 days to rest his sore right knee. The Grizzlies return with a back-to-back out of the break, however, leaving his status for next Friday's matchup against Utah up in the air. For now, he should be considered questionable for that one. Expect more minutes for Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Wednesday evening.
