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.

• Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Out for first week

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Kennard won't be available for at least the first week of the regular season, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Kennard can be safely ruled out for Wednesday's opener versus the Jazz as well as the Grizzlies' weekend back-to-back set Friday and Saturday versus the Rockets and Magic, respectively, while he recovers from foot soreness, which he suffered during a preseason contest last week. Of the five players the Grizzlies have ruled out for the season opener, Kennard and Jaren Jackson (hamstring) look to be the closest to returning, but Kennard is still likely in line for a bench role behind starting wings Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart once he's cleared to debut.

  Kennard is dealing with foot soreness suffered in Monday's preseason game against Indiana, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Kennard has logged just 98 games across the last two seasons due to a myriad of injuries, so his preseason affliction is notable. Coach Taylor Jenkins noted that there is no timeline or formal diagnosis yet, but the 28-year-old is a candidate to "miss some time." His status will need to be monitored, while the shooting of rookies Cam Spencer and Jaylen Wells could become more pertinent to the end of Memphis' rotation.
