Fri Apr 2518:19Luke Kennard Questionable For Game 4 On Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kennard is dealing with soreness in his right Achilles. The 28-year-old has not been very productive against the Thunder, scoring just 14 total points in 63 minutes. With Memphis fighting for their playoff lives on Saturday, and Ja Morant already ruled out, there could be a chance that Kennard sees more volume as the Grizzlies fight with desperation. However, the ceiling doesn't appear to be all that high. Fantasy managers and DFS players should be able to find better options elsewhere.

Tue Apr 1509:34Luke Kennard Active On Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will be available for Tuesday's play-in contest against the Golden State Warriors. Right knee soreness kept Kennard off the court on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Kennard occasionally pops off for a big game but mostly takes the backseat in Grizzlies games. He has averaged only 4.4 points per game in April, despite logging over 20 minutes on most nights.

Wed Jan 2219:53Luke Kennard Ready To Face Hornets
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Wednesday's clash against Charlotte. The former Duke product is ready for an eighth consecutive appearance. Kennard has finally found his shooting stroke in 2025, sinking 51.4 percent from beyond the arc to average 11.1 points. The Hornets allow the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league, making this a favorable matchup for Kennard.

Mon Jan 619:38Luke Kennard Available To Play Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) was originally listed as out for Monday night's matchup against the Mavs, but he was upgraded to questionable in the afternoon and ultimately will be able to give it a go. He has stepped into a very involved role with Desmond Bane (ankle) and Ja Morant (shoulder) off the floor, as they will be on Monday. With those guards out, Kennard's usage has jumped to 17.3% from his season average of 14.3%. In the three games he has played without the two starters, he averaged 8.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. He could be a solid DFS value play if he's able to have a similar workload on Monday, and his availability crowds Cam Spencer and Yuki Kawamura (shoulder) as potential DFS punt plays.

Mon Jan 619:03Luke Kennard Available For Monday's Game
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Kennard is back in action following a one-game absence due to hamstring soreness. Normally, Kennard's status isn't noteworthy, but the Grizzlies are going to need to lean on him more with them being shorthanded. Kennard has finished with double digit points in four of his last five games. He's worth a look as a deep league streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now.

Thu Dec 5 202418:59Luke Kennard Uncertain For Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kennard is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. His absence probably won't have a huge impact on the rotation given Kennard is only averaging 19 minutes per game. If he sits, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, and John Konchar will probably all see additional run. None of them are likely going to gain significant playing time from Kennard's possible absence. Out of everyone, Smart probably has the most fantasy upside out of them all, assuming Kennard is out.

Wed Nov 6 202415:21Luke Kennard Listed Questionable For Wednesday Night
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard has yet to make his 2024-2025 season debut due to a muscle strain in his foot he sustained during preseason action. The questionable tag marks progress for the 28-year-old, though, as it's the first time he's carried the questionable tag this season. Kennard was a full participant in Tuesday's practice as well, pointing to a positive sign that he may be able to give it a go on Wednesday. Kennard averaged 11.0 PPG while shooting 45% from three in his first full season with the Grizzlies and was brought back on a one-year $9.25 million contract this offseason. The sooner he can get on the court for the 4-4 Grizzlies, the better. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations if he's active for Wednesday night given it will be his first regular season game action in 2024. If he's ruled out, expect Scotty Pippen Jr. to continue to be the main threat off the bench for Memphis.

Tue Oct 22 202408:38Luke Kennard To Miss First Week Of Regular Season
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (foot) has been ruled out for at least the first week of the 2024-25 regular season by head coach Taylor Jenkins. Kennard is battling foot soreness sustained during preseason action last week. Memphis has three games scheduled for the first week, starting with a matchup against Utah on Wednesday. John Konchar could see more time on the court in Kennard's absence, although the Grizzlies have their regular backcourt healthy for the start of the season, leaving the bench guys with few opportunities to make an impact.

Sat Jun 29 202420:34Memphis Declines Luke Kennard's Option
The Memphis Grizzlies declined the $14.8 million option for guard Luke Kennard on Saturday. The 28-year-old appeared in only 39 games for Memphis last season, averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.9 rebounds. He also shot 45.0% from behind the arc. Memphis hopes to work out a new agreement. But Kennard should draw plenty of interest on the open market for a team looking for a reliable depth piece.

Thu Apr 4 202423:13Luke Kennard Not Likely To Play Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the lineup all season for various reasons. He is currently battling left-knee soreness, and with the Grizzlies playing on back-to-back days, Kennard will get Friday off to rest. The sharpshooter had suited up for three straight games, playing more than 25 minutes in each contest. If he is ruled out, Memphis will likely rely on Jordan Goodwin and Jake LaRavia to play more minutes.

Fri Mar 29 202417:35Luke Kennard Returning For Grizzlies On Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday versus Orlando, as the team has removed him from the injury report. Kennard has been absent for the past five games for personal reasons. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.4 points and 5.1 assists for the month and should continue to fill a big role on offense, with Desmond Bane (back) ruled out for Saturday and Vince Williams Jr. (knee) remaining on the shelf.

Fri Mar 22 202411:16Luke Kennard Out For Personal Reasons On Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (personal) has been listed as out for Friday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Lamar Stevens (adductor) is also out for this one and Desmond Bane (back) is considered doubtful. If Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) can be upgraded from questionable, he'll be in line for a lot of work. Otherwise, John Konchar, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Trey Jamison should all be in line for added opportunities. Each one of these players carries a lot of risk as streaming options due to the bare-bones roster that the Grizzlies have to endure.

Mon Mar 18 202409:50Luke Kennard Unavailable On Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for the Grizzlies. John Konchar is the likeliest player to step into the role. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rush into picking up Konchar, as he tends to drift through games with his contributions not showing up on the box score.

Sun Mar 10 202418:15Luke Kennard Returns For Grizzlies Sunday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Thunder. Heading into the day, Kennard carried a questionable tag due to a sore left knee, but the team has upgraded him to available. The 27-year-old sharpshooter returns from a one-game absence. Kennard played a very active role in the Grizzlies offense in his most recent appearances, averaging 20.0 points across two games with 21 total shot attempts, and he should get plenty of usage again as Memphis continues to battle the injury bug.

Thu Mar 7 202419:10Luke Kennard Considered Doubtful For Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is on the injury report as doubtful ahead of Friday's contest against Atlanta. He's landed on the report with left knee soreness, and the doubtful tag suggests it's unlikely Kennard will play. The 27-year-old has been one of the team's best offensive players recently, posting 40 points across the last two games with nine makes from downtown. There's a strong chance Jordan Goodwin will return to the lineup if Kennard can't play on Friday. He's been inactive for the last couple of contests after starting in four straight appearances. Goodwin's shooting numbers with Memphis are an awful sight, but a meeting with the defensively weak Hawks could change that. He's collected 7.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.3 steals as a starter for the Grizzlies.

Sat Mar 2 202419:37Luke Kennard Available On Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will get some reinforcements with both Kennard and John Konchar (thumb) available to play on Saturday. Kennard figures to move back into the starting five which will shift Jordan Goodwin to the bench. Konchar will likely remain in a bench role and doesn't have a great path to value with Ziaire Williams doing well as a starter.

Fri Mar 1 202411:59Luke Kennard, John Konchar Both Doubtful To Play Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guards Luke Kennard (illness) and John Konchar (thumb) have both been listed as doubtful ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely going to be Konchar's third consecutive missed game and Kennard's second. With a team as banged up as the Grizzlies, they would have both seen around 20 minutes or more if they were able to suit up, but it looks like the youth movement will continue. While they watch from the sidelines, Vince Williams Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and GG Jackson II (questionable - quad) would all be quality streaming options regardless of fantasy league size or format.

Wed Feb 28 202412:02Luke Kennard Won't Play On Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Minnesota. He has caught an illness bug and will come out of the lineup after starting in back-to-back games. Kennard's absence could help Jordan Goodwin back into the rotation. Following his trade from Phoenix, Goodwin put in a pair of solid performances with averages of 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, but he hasn't logged a single minute of action in the last two games.
