Memphis Grizzlies wing Cedric Coward left the game Feb. 9 against the Golden State Warriors with 2.9 seconds left in the second quarter.
He is doubtful to return due to a knee injury.
Coward was jumping for a rebound when he came down and fell to the floor. He limped up the floor for the following Grizzlies possession, but he wasn’t moving well. He went to the locker room and did not start the second half at Moda Center.
