Unlikely to be limited at camp
Coward missed the Las Vegas Summer League after undergoing shoulder surgery in November of 2024 in college, but Memphis anticipates no limitations for the rookie swingman this fall. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have to open the season, but it's worth noting that Memphis is dealing with several injuries already. The 2025 first-rounder will be a player for fantasy managers to monitor this preseason.

Cleared for basketball activities
Edey underwent surgery to address laxity in his left ankle on June 7. He'll likely get back on the floor at some point in November if all goes well, which is good news for Memphis, who also have Brandon Clarke (knee), Cedric Coward (shoulder) and Jaren Jackson (foot) on the mend.

Cleared to ramp up activities
After undergoing a procedure to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot in early July, Jackson has been cleared to begin ramping up his basketball activities. The return timetable gives the star big man a chance to be ready for Opening Night, though Memphis will likely exercise caution during training camp. With Brandon Clarke (knee) already sidelined, Santi Aldama and GG Jackson may be needed to soak up the minutes at power forward early in the year.
