Rotowire
Spencer recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 victory over the Suns.
Spencer produced his best game of the young campaign with season-high marks in minutes (19) and assists (6) as the Grizzlies improved to 3-2. Spencer seems to have pulled ahead as the eighth man in the rotation, but keep in mind that the Grizzlies are currently far from full strength with several guys still injured.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Adds 11 in preseason finale
Rotowire
Spencer put up 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and a steal over 21 minutes in Friday's 141-125 preseason win over the Heat.
Spencer took advantage of Ja Morant's absence and backup Ty Jerome playing only four minutes, pacing the team in assists (five) and three-point attempts (six). While Spencer is in competition with Javon Small for minutes, it is worth noting Small is on a two-way contract, meaning it is likely Spencer begins the regular season as the third-string point guard behind Morant and Jerome.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Back in rotation Saturday
Rotowire
Spencer totaled three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) across five minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over Detroit.
Spencer moved back into the rotation, albeit for a short five-minute stint. It's been an underwhelming rookie campaign for Spencer, who has played in just 22 games thus far. In 9.4 minutes per game, he is averaging 3.7 points on 42.4 percent shooting from the floor.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Scores 16 points off bench
Rotowire
Spencer notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.
Spencer has been an absolute star in the G League this season, but he's been limited to just 13 appearances at the NBA level. Monday's outing was his best by a wide margin, although it's worth noting he saw sizable minutes since the Grizzlies were missing several rotation players. Spencer isn't expected to play a sizable role in the rotation once the Grizzlies are at full strength, so his fantasy upside shouldn't increase dramatically based on one good game.

Rotowire
Spencer (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Spencer could see some minutes off the bench due to the absences of players such as Vince Williams (ankle), Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness). That said, he's not expected to see enough time to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Out at least three more weeks
Rotowire
The Grizzlies announced Friday that Spencer (ankle) will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.
Spencer sustained a right ankle sprain during the Las Vegas Summer League and was on track to return for training camp before concurrently suffering a talar stress reaction. Given he's on a two-way deal, when he's cleared to suit up, he'll presumably report to the G League's Memphis Hustle to begin his NBA career.
