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.

Rotowire
Spencer ended Saturday's 102-96 victory over the Mavericks with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes.

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.
Spencer piled up 23 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Warriors.
Spencer supplied an efficient 23 points, leading all scorers Tuesday as well. The 2024 second-rounder should continue to be a significant contributor this summer, and he's set to battle with Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen for reserve minutes in Memphis' backcourt for the 2025-26 campaign.
