Cedric Coward Ruled Out for Saturday's Game with Shoulder Soreness

Memphis Grizzlies G Cedric Coward (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right shoulder soreness. This confirms his expected absence for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Coward's next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Warriors. With the Grizzlies' backcourt extremely shorthanded, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Walter Clayton, and Jahmai Mashack are all expected to see significantly increased playing time.
