Mashack’s availability is pending an NBA trade that hasn’t been finalized. Small is expected to play, but Memphis may be without its first round pick.
Coward is doubtful to play in summer league, a Grizzlies spokesperson told The Commercial Appeal. He continues to rehab a shoulder injury that limited him to six games last season at Washington State.
After being acquired by the Grizzlies with No. 11 overall pick, Coward told media that he feels ready, but the decision would ultimately be up to his medical team. Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said that Coward had on only done 1-on-0 drills, so the team would need to see him in 5-on-5 full contact workouts to fully clear him.
Center Will Magnay is also questionable to play due to a wrist injury.
The Grizzlies will begin summer league action in Salt Lake City on July 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder (6 p.m., ESPNU).
