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.

Luke Kennard Latest News
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.
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. Although, the sharpshooter did what he does best while averaging 45.0 percent from three 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.
Out again Sunday
Kennard (knee) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets. Kennard will miss his sixth game in a row Sunday and that will be the end of his regular season. The sharpshooter had all sorts of problems with his left knee, limiting him to 39 total appearances. He finished the campaign with averages of 11.0 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers.
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-men 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.
Remains out Wednesday
Kennard (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers. This will be the fourth game in a row on the shelf for Kennard. With just two games remaining in the regular season after Wednesday, it wouldn't be a shock if Kennard's campaign is over.
Out against San Antonio
Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Kennard will miss a third straight game due to left knee injury recovery. His next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set Wednesday in Cleveland, but Kennard can be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup.
Out against 76ers
Kennard (knee) will not play Saturday against the Grizzlies. Kennard will miss his second straight game, leaving Memphis in rough shape. The Grizzlies will have just eight players available after signing Timmy Allen to a 10-day contract.
Iffy against Philadelphia
Kennard (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the 76ers. Kennard is in danger of missing his second straight contest Saturday due to left knee soreness. With Memphis dealing with a long list of injuries, Kennard's potential absence could leave the Grizzlies incredibly thin in the backcourt.
Confirmed out for Friday
Kennard (knee) will not play Friday against the Pistons. Kennard was considered doubtful prior to this update, so it's not a surprise to see the Grizzlies hold him out. Memphis is very shorthanded for Friday, so guys like Jordan Goodwin and Jake LaRavia could see heavy workloads.
