Coward Shines in Summer League Debut | Memphis Grizzlies News

Cedric Coward, the rookie who already played a full NBA season, made his Vegas Summer League debut with a double-double—17 points, 10 rebounds—leading Memphis to a nail-biting 97-96 win over Chicago. A year after missing the summer league due to injury, Coward’s strong performance echoes his solid rookie year with the Grizzlies, where he averaged over 13 points and nearly 6 rebounds. With six wins to go and one already secured, he’s chasing a championship. Cam Boozer, the third overall pick at just 18, dropped 23 points and sealed the game with free throws, leaving Coward amazed. The Grizzlies also honored late teammate Brandon Clarke with a special jersey patch. Meanwhile, Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson lit up the court with 35 points, while former Gonzaga standout Anton Watson stifled Oklahoma City’s Aday Mara to free throws only. The summer league is heating up as college stars make their mark—keep watching for breakout performances. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
