Ruled out for Monday

Missing Saturday's game
Coward (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Charlotte.

Won't play Friday
Coward is out for Friday's game versus Boston due to personal reasons, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Coward was a late addition to the injury report Friday, and he'll need to step away from the team for at least one contest. The rookie swingman faces a quick turnaround if he wants to rejoin the Grizzlies on Saturday, when they take on the Hornets in Charlotte. His absence Friday vacates a spot in the starting lineup likely for either Walter Clayton or Javon Small to fill.

Questionable for Friday
Coward is questionable to play Friday versus the Celtics due to personal reasons.
Analysis
If Coward sits out Friday's game, Rayan Rupert could get a start and there would be more minutes available for Walter Clayton. Check back for official word on Coward closer to tipoff.

Scores 15 despite shooting woes
Coward recorded 15 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 win over the Nuggets.
Analysis
Coward needed 12 shots to score 15 points and missed all four of his three-pointers, but he still delivered a decent stat line. This was the fourth time in six appearances in which Coward scored at least 15 points. The rookie out of Washington State has been limited to just six outings since the All-Star break due to a knee injury. While his availability needs to be checked regularly, he's proven to be consistent when available. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in those six outings.
