The Memphis Grizzlies were well represented at the 2026 NBA Rising Stars game on Feb. 13 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer and Cedric Coward gave Memphis three players on the rosters. That tied the Washington Wizards for most in the NBA.

Coward didn’t play because of right knee soreness, but Wells and Spencer played for “Team Vince” and “Team-TMac,” respectively. There were four teams total in a mini-tournament with the semifinal games going to 40 points and a target score of 25 for the championship contest.
Wells’ Team Vince defeated Spencer’s squad in the semifinals and went on to win 25-24 in the finals against Team Melo.
Coward was also a member of Team Vince, which was coached by former NBA star Vince Carter.
Spencer started for Team T-Mac, coached by Tracy McGrady, and quickly made an impact. He scored the team’s first points of the game by sinking a wing 3-pointer. He finished with five points, three rebounds and two assists.

Wells had six points and three rebounds while making two 3-pointers in the semifinal matchup. He came off the bench and helped his team go on a 10-0 run to win 41-36 in the semifinals.
Wells added four more points and made two of his six shots in the finals.
