Comes up big in Sunday's win
Coward racked up 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 win over the Nets.
Analisi
The 21 points led all scorers on the afternoon, and Coward's final bucket was a three-pointer inside the final minute that put the Grizzlies ahead for good. The rookie guard has drained multiple treys in six of his last nine games, averaging 15.4 points, 8.1 boards, 3.2 assists and 1.9 threes in 25.6 minutes over that stretch.

Solid line in return
Coward (ankle) supplied 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder.
Analisi
Back in action following a two-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, Coward hit the glass hard and got easy points at the charity stripe, but he also committed some careless turnovers and finished with a season-high five giveaways. The turnovers were a team-wide issue, with Memphis committing 17 on the evening compared to Oklahoma City's six, and the Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 25-5 in points off turnovers.

Cleared to play vs. OKC
Coward (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analisi
Coward has been given the green light to play Friday after missing the Grizzlies' last two games due to a sprained left ankle, and his return should result in GG Jackson reverting to a bench role. Coward entered Memphis' starting lineup permanently Nov. 15 against the Cavaliers, and in his 21 outings since he has averaged 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.7 minutes per game.

Could return Friday
Coward (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analisi
Coward is in danger of missing his third straight game while dealing with a left ankle sprain. Vince Williams (knee) is also questionable, meaning Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be in for big nights if either player is eventually ruled out.

Another absence coming
Coward (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
Analisi
Coward will be sidelined for a second straight game Wednesday, with his next chance to play coming Friday against the Thunder. GG Jackson logged 22 minutes Tuesday against the Spurs, but he didn't have much success with two points (1-6 FG), seven boards and one assist.

Ruled out with ankle sprain
Coward is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.
Analisi
Coward turned his ankle in Sunday's defeat to the Lakers and needs to sit out at least one contest to recuperate. The rookie first-rounder faces a quick turnaround Wednesday against the Suns. GG Jackson started the second half Sunday, and it's possible either he or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will replace Coward in the starting lineup Tuesday.

Doesn't return Sunday
Coward (ankle) exited Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers in the second quarter and did not return.
Analisi
Coward landed on an opposing player's foot and injured his left ankle after playing just under 13 minutes. He finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal. Despite not playing at all in the second half, the rookie first-rounder still ended the game as Memphis' second-leading scorer. Coward's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Spurs. If he's forced to miss time, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and GG Jackson are candidates for an uptick in minutes.
