Kennard notched eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets. Desmond Bane is healthy again, while Marcus Smart missed Sunday's game due to an illness. Ja Morant (ankle) remains week-to-week, meaning Kennard will have the opportunity to provide some streaming appeal in deeper formats. Over his last six appearances, Kennard has averaged 7.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes.

Kennard (foot) logged 18 minutes and finished with six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in Wednesday's 131-114 win over the Lakers. Sidelined for the Grizzlies' first eight contests of the season with a left foot muscle strain, Kennard made enough progress in his recovery to make his 2024-25 debut Wednesday. He handled a light role off the bench against the Lakers, but his minutes could pick up in the games to come while the Grizzlies are without starting wings Desmond Bane (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle) for the foreseeable future. Santi Aldama and rookie second-round pick Jaylen Wells are currently filling in on the top unit, but if the Grizzlies want to prioritize floor spacing, opening up more playing time for Kennard -- a career 43.9 percent three-point shooter -- could help achieve that.

Kennard (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Kennard was deemed a game-time call for this matchup, but the three-point specialist will give it a go and should see minutes off the bench in his first taste of action this season. Kennard shot 45 percent from three-point range across 39 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.
-
Kennard (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. Kennard has yet to make his season debut while dealing with a strained left foot. However, Kennard receiving a questionable tag instead of immediately being ruled out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

Kennard (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets. Kennard has yet to make his debut in the 2024-25 campaign due to a strained muscle in his left foot. However, the 28-year-old was a full participant in practice Tuesday, and he seems to be ramping up for a return to game action as soon as Wednesday against the Lakers.
