Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Signs one-year deal with Memphis
Kennard (knee) and the Grizzlies agreed to a one-year, $11 million deal Wednesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The Grizzlies allowed Kennard to hit free agency when they declined his team option June 29, but there was always mutual interest to get a new deal done. Kennard is a valuable floor spacer for the Grizzlies, especially when playing alongside Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. During the 2023-24 regular season, Kennard drained 45 percent of his three-point attempts. He did miss time at the end of the campaign with a troublesome left knee issue, and that will be an injury to monitor ahead of training camp.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Memphis declines option
The Grizzlies have declined Kennard's (knee) $14.8 million team option Saturday, but both sides are eager to strike a new deal in free agency, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Kennard put up a decent year, during which he averaged 11.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds across 25.6 minutes in 39 regular-season games. The sharpshooter did what he does best in shooting 45.0 percent from three-point range in limited time due to injury. The Grizzlies will look to bring Kennard back and avoid the injury bug that plagued their club in the 2023-24 season.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Out once again Friday
Kennard (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Kennard is set to miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a left knee injury, and with two games left on the schedule, don't be surprised if Memphis employs the same eight-man rotation the team has been using of late. It wouldn't be shocking if Kennard is also out for Sunday's season finale at home against the Nuggets.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Remains out Wednesday
Kennard (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
Kennard will miss his fourth game in a row due to left knee injury recovery. He'll have just two more opportunities to play after Wednesday, but it wouldn't be shocking if the Grizzlies opted to shut down the veteran wing for good.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Out against San Antonio
Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Iffy against Philadelphia
Kennard (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Confirmed out for Friday
Kennard (knee) won't play Friday against the Pistons.
Kennard was considered doubtful heading into Friday's contest, so his absence for the front end of a back-to-back set comes as little surprise. He'll be one of 12 Grizzlies players ruled out Friday, so plenty of minutes should be up for grabs on the wing for depth players such as Jake LaRavia and Maozinha Pereira.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Doubtful for Friday
Kennard is doubtful to play Friday against the Pistons due to left knee soreness.
Friday's game is the first of a back-to-back set, so Kennard is expected to hit the sidelines, which should open up more opportunity for Jordan Goodwin and Jake LaRavia. Check back for official confirmation on Kennard's status closer to Friday's tip.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Hits five threes vs. Detroit
Kennard produced 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 110-108 victory over the Pistons.
After missing five games due to a personal matter, Kennard has played 30-plus minutes in each of his last two games. It was the sixth time the sharpshooter made at least five threes. As a starter this season, Kennard has averaged 13.5 points on 48.5 percent shooting (including 47.9 percent from three on 6.9 3PA/G), 3.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists over 28.4 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Starts, hands out five assists
Kennard (personal) recorded nine points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block in 30 minutes.
Though he missed the previous five games while tending to a personal matter, Kennard slotted back into the starting five Saturday and reached the 30-minute mark, despite the Magic turning the game into a runaway victory by the end of three quarters. Kennard didn't showcase his usual accurate touch from beyond the arc, but his outputs in the rebounds, assists and blocks categories exceeded his season-long averages. Assuming he's active in future games, Kennard should hold a key role for the injury-riddled Grizzlies, but it's unclear if he'll be a full-time starter. One of Kennard or Scotty Pippen will likely move to the bench if Desmond Bane (back) returns for Monday's game in Detroit.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Starting vs. Orlando
