The Memphis Grizzlies will be missing one of their starters on Oct. 23 against the Golden State Warriors.
Wing Cedric Coward is out due to a left wrist sprain. Coward finished with seven points and seven rebounds in the Grizzlies' 123-103 win
Coward was listed as doubtful before the game. GG Jackson will start in Coward's place. Jackson scored 12 points in 19 minutes on Oct. 21.
Although Coward is out, the Grizzlies will be getting help back at center. Isaiah Stewart will be available to make his season and Grizzlies debut.
He missed the first game and has been unavailable since suffering the injury on Oct. 5 in the first quarter of a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Grizzlies acquired Stewart in a trade with the Detroit Pistons. He
is expected to add depth to the current center rotation that includes Zach Edey and Quinten Post.
