Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Spencer (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
As expected, Spencer will miss Saturday's contest due to lower-back soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against Phoenix. The Grizzlies will be extremely shorthanded against Chicago, so Rayan Rupert, Jahmai Mashack (ankle/nose) and DeJon Jarreau will likely see increased minutes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Doubtful versus Chicago
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Chicago.
The Grizzlies might be running with a skeleton crew Saturday. With Walter Clayton (ankle) questionable and Ty Jerome (ankle) out, Javon Small may be running things in the backcourt to begin the contest. DeJon Jarreau and Rayan Rupert might also need to get more involved off the bench.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Spencer accumulated 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.
Spencer missed all six of his shot attempts during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, but he scored efficiently in this one and got some extra minutes with Ty Jerome (ankle) missing another game. As long as Jerome is sidelined, Spencer should be a reliable source of dimes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Officially out vs. Hawks
Rotowire
Spencer (back) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Spencer has officially been downgraded to out due to back soreness. The Grizzlies will be awfully thin in the backcourt Monday with Spencer, Cedric Coward (personal), Javon Small (back) and Jahmai Mashack (ankle) all unavailable. It'll presumably be up to Rayan Rupert, DeJon Jarreau and Walter Clayton to pick up the slack.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Bench role Monday
Rotowire
Spencer is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Spencer started Friday against the Pistons and poured in an efficient 19 points but will revert to a reserve role Monday as the Grizzlies are slated to start Walter Clayton, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Rayan Rupert and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Spencer (back) is available for Friday's game against Detroit.
Spencer is no longer on the injury report after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. Spencer may be hard to trust in fantasy hoops, given Memphis' volatile rotations and injury reports, but Walter Clayton (ankle) is doubtful Friday, Scotty Pippen (toe) is done for the season, and it's unclear when or if Ja Morant (elbow) will suit up again, opening the door for Spencer to see decent minutes as a resreve against Detroit.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Starting nod Monday
Rotowire
Spencer is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kings.
Spencer will draw his first start since Jan. 30 with Cedric Coward (knee) still sidelined. In 14 starts this season, the 25-year-old is averaging 11.4 points, 9.0 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Spencer supplied two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Spencer matched his season low with two points, continuing to play off the bench behind Ty Jerome. Despite what has been a breakout campaign, Spencer's long-term fantasy value remains somewhat of a mystery. He now has plenty of competition for playing time, having to deal with the likes of Jerome, Scottie Pippen, Walter Clayton (calf) and eventually, Ja Morant (elbow). Spencer remains a soft hold in standard formats, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him let go in a few spots, given the uncertainty.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Available for Monday
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Spencer will miss the tail end of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set due to a sore right ankle. The 25-year-old's absence could mean more opportunities for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Spencer's next chance to play will come Monday at Golden State.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Spencer is dealing with right ankle soreness and is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the 25-year-old guard isn't cleared to suit up, Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would likely see increased playing time, especially if Cedric Coward (shoulder) and Jaylen Wells (shoulder) are downgraded from doubtful to out.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Pops for team-high 18 in loss
Rotowire
Spencer amassed 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 135-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The second-year guard led Memphis in scoring on the night, coming off the bench for a fourth straight game. The team's backcourt is getting crowded even with Ja Morant (elbow) still sidelined, as Ty Jerome (calf) made his season debut Jan. 31 and Scotty Pippen (toe) followed Friday, and the Grizzlies seem more comfortable having Spencer in the second unit. Over the last three games in that role, he's averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 threes and 2.3 boards in 26.0 minutes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Nets 16 points on seven shots
Rotowire
Spencer contributed 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to the Pelicans.
Spencer was uber-efficient Friday evening, with his first, and only miss, not coming until midway through the fourth quarter. The sophomore guard has been heating up over the past four games, churning out top-80 value behind averages of 11.5 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Starting sans Morant
Rotowire
Spencer will start against the Lakers on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
With Ja Morant (calf) unavailable, Spencer will get the starting nod for the fifth time on the campaign. As a member of the starting five this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 12.0 points, 9.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Quiet in loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Spencer racked up seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Spencer scored in single digits for the second straight game, a worrying trend for anyone still rostering him. With Ja Morant now healthy and playing his best basketball of the season, it appears that Spencer's role could be declining. With that said, Morant's next injury could be just around the corner, giving Spencer a slightly longer shelf-life. He remains a soft hold, specifically for managers needing assists and threes.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Spencer (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Spencer is set to miss his first game of the season due to personal reasons, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday against the Wizards. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Vince Williams and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are likely to see increased playing time, while Jahmai Mashack and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates to enter the rotation.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Hits for 27 points in victory
Rotowire
Spencer logged 27 points (9-13 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 121-103 win over the Clippers.
Spencer was scintillating beyond the arc, drilling seven of his 10 three-point attempts in the win. Monday marked the first time that Spencer passed the 30-minute threshold, and if Ja Morant's (ankle) injury persists after the upcoming two-day break, the second-year pro will be in line for another usage bump.
