Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Steps into starting lineup
Kennard is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Poor performance Saturday
Kennard finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 16 minutes during Saturday's 125-112 loss to the Thunder.
Kennard moved back to the bench and delivered his worst performance since before Christmas. The Grizzlies are starting to get healthy bodies back on the floor, meaning Kennard's role is likely to be anything but consistent, at least for the foreseeable future. While he could move into a meaningful spot again at some point, it appears as though his time as a regular starter has come to an end.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Coming off bench Saturday
Kennard is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Thunder on Saturday.
Kennard has started in the Grizzlies' last four games and has averaged 9.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 26.8 minutes per game over that span. However, Kennard will retreat to the bench Saturday due to the return of Desmond Bane (ankle).

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Quiet again Wednesday
Kennard provided five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 138-107 victory over the Raptors.
Kennard remained in the starting lineup but, once again, struggled to find any real rhythm. He has now scored a total of 15 points over the past three games, trending in the wrong direction after an encouraging period in late-January during which he scored at least 20 points in three of five games. Despite starting, Kennard's role is far from guaranteed given the current depth in Memphis.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Excellent effort Thursday
Kennard closed with 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 victory over the Rockets.
Kennard has been a reliable addition to the starting lineup every time Ja Morant (shoulder) misses time, but the veteran sharpshooter has been taking his game to a whole new level of late. He's surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings and has reached the 15-point plateau in five of the previous eight. During that eight-game stretch, Kennard has averaged 15.3 points per game while making 57.4 percent of his three-point attempts.

Kennard totaled 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 139-126 victory over New Orleans.
Kennard started in place of Ja Morant (illness) on Friday and delivered another impressive performance, draining seven of his nine three-pointers and reaching the 20-point plateau for the second consecutive appearance. Kennard is going through his most productive stretch of the season, scoring in double digits in 10 of his last 12 contests while averaging 14.3 points and shooting 55.7 percent from three in that span.

Kennard started against the Pelicans on Saturday due to the absence of Ja Morant (illness), and the former finished with 27 points, six assists, three rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes in a 139-126 win. However, with Morant available for Saturday's game, Kennard will retreat to the bench.

Kennard is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Scores season-high 23 points
Kennard had 23 points (8-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Hornets.
Kennard was an absolute menace from beyond the arc, and aside from scoring a season-high mark in points, he also drained a season-high mark in three-pointers. Kennard has scored in double digits in six of his last eight games, and his outside shooting has been a key weapon for Memphis. Over that eight-game stretch, the sharpshooter is averaging 12.6 points per tilt while making an elite -- and unsustainable -- 56.1 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Flirts with double-double in win
Kennard recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.
Kennard continues to play well off the bench, having now scored double digits in seven of the past eight games. Injuries to other players provided Kennard with an opportunity to step into a larger role, something he has capitalized on in recent weeks. In fact, over the past two weeks, he is averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 three-pointers and 4.2 assists in 23.8 minutes per game. The Grizzlies have one of the deepest rotations in the league, with Kennard currently at the forefront of the second unit.
