Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Out for first week
Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Luke 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.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Battling foot soreness
Luke 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.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Signs one-year deal with Memphis
Luke Kennard (knee) and the Memphis 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.
