Removed from injury report
Coward (back) is available for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Analysis
After resting Sunday, Coward is ready to play in the second half of this back-to-back set. Across his last six appearances, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.0 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Sunday
Coward (back) won't play Sunday in Milwaukee.
Analysis
Coward will receive a maintenance day on the front end of a back-to-back set to rest his ailing back, which could result in a spot-start for Rayan Rupert. For now, Coward should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Cavs.

Doubtful for Sunday
Coward (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
With Sunday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, the Grizzlies are leaning towards a maintenance day. With the way the team has handled rotations in recent weeks, it's not a lock that Coward plays the second leg either.

Empty performance Wednesday
Coward supplied 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 loss to New York.
Analysis
Coward scored in double digits for the sixth time in his past seven games, although a lack of peripheral production cannot be overlooked. In 11 appearances over the past month, Coward has averaged 13.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.4 three-pointers, making him a fringe standard-league asset, at best.
