Spencer, who is on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, is ineligible for the NBA postseason.
Spencer played in 25 games on the NBA level, averaging 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 41.5 percent from the floor and 35.8 percent from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old guard suited up for eight games with the G League's Memphis Hustle, finishing with averages of 23.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 49.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Productive in first career start
Rotowire
Spencer notched 23 points (8-19 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 132-97 victory over the Mavericks.
Spencer made the first start of his career and posted an impressive stat line, surpassing the 20-point mark and ending just three assists away from a double-double. However, most of the regulars are expected to return for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors in the Play-In Tournament, meaning Spencer should return to having a minimal role off the bench going forward.

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.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Puts up 14 points in blowout win
Rotowire
Spencer contributed 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 victory over the Wizards.
Spencer hadn't seen action for the NBA club since Nov. 23, but the two-way player was summoned from the G League to provide depth Sunday while Ja Morant (back) and Desmond Bane (toe) were sidelined. While the rookie second-round pick came through with a well-rounded line off the bench, he could find himself back outside of the rotation if Morant and Bane are back in action for the Grizzlies' next game Friday versus the Nets.

Spencer (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Spencer was given an estimated timetable of three weeks back on Nov. 1, so his potential return would provide a big boost to Memphis. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are doubtful Wednesday and Vince Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, so Spencer could see some rotation minutes if he gets the green light to play.

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.

Rotowire
Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said Monday that Spencer recently suffered an ankle sprain and will miss the beginning of preseason, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Headed to Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies selected Spencer with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Spencer was a five-year collegiate player who stepped into the spotlight after transferring to UConn for his final season in 2023-24. He helped lead the Huskies to their second straight national title, averaging 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals over 33.0 minutes per contest in 40 total appearances. If Spencer is able to carve out a career at the NBA level, it will likely be on the back of his elite shooting ability, as he converted 44 percent of his 5.6 three-point attempts per contest at UConn.
