The Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Luke Kennard to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Gabe Vincent and a second-round pick. Kennard signed with the Hawks on a one-year deal this past offseason and has averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in just over 20 minutes per game. He adds much-needed shooting for the Lakers, as Kennard leads the NBA in three-point percentage at a whopping 49.7%. The Lakers currently rank 20th in three-point percentage and have struggled to find production off the bench this season. While he lacks a fantasy ceiling due to his limited role, Kennard should be a key producer for the Lakers as they chase their 18th NBA title.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (neck) won't play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Kennard is dealing with a neck sprain and will miss the second night of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old sharpshooter played 20 minutes on Sunday, finishing with 22 points and six three-pointers. With CJ McCollum now with the Hawks and Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain in the long run once he returns to action.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup in Los Angeles against the Lakers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Kennard played 20 minutes on Sunday and had 22 points while knocking down six triples. He has scored at least eight points in each of his last seven games, averaging 13.1 points and 3.0 three-pointers per contest in 24.3 minutes per game over that stretch. With CJ McCollum in the mix for the Hawks and Trae Young in Washington, Kennard's role is uncertain, but he can be a solid source of points and threes if he gets opportunities.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (hip) is available for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Washington Wizards after missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old has seen steady minutes for Atlanta this season (22.1 minutes per contest). He is also averaging 8.1 points and 44.2% shooting from behind the arc. However, despite a consistent role, Kennard is streaky on the offensive end, posting double-digit scoring in four of his nine appearances in November, giving him little fantasy upside outside of his efficiency from deep.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Washington after missing the prior contest, putting his short-term fantasy outlook in doubt. The former Duke standout has averaged 6.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.0 block in 17.8 minutes across his last five games. He's shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from deep in that stretch, though his role has tightened during Atlanta's recent guard shuffle. If he sits again, Vit Krejci and Keaton Wallace should continue absorbing extra minutes, though both remain fringe options for deeper formats.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (hip) will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The talented sniper is dealing with inflammation in his left hip, exiting the lineup after tallying eight points and three assists in 24 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Kennard has averaged over 22 minutes per game off the Hawks bench this season, and the likes of Vit Krejci, Caleb Houstan, and Keaton Wallace could get more burn in the second unit on Sunday. However, none of the three players stands out as someone fantasy managers can trust.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (illness) will hop back into the lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. His name has been removed from the injury report after Kennard missed two contests due to illness. The Hawks are currently dealing with several injury issues, which could lead to Kennard playing a significant role in the game. He may even make his first start of the season if Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) are unable to play against the Clippers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 29-year-old is dealing with an illness that also kept him out of action on Friday against the Raptors. Kennard has been an OK presence off Atlanta's bench to start the season, though he's put up 15 and 17 in two of his last four games. In his absence expect Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci to get extended run off the bench. Both have been spotty off the bench in Atlanta and may not be great fantasy options. DFS managers looking to take a longshot may find more interest in either of those two options.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (illness) will not play Friday night after being downgraded from questionable to out for Friday's home game against Toronto. Kennard has averaged 25.3 minutes per game off the bench for Atlanta this season, chipping in 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers per game. With Trae Young (knee) out as well, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Keaton Wallace, and Vit Krejci will have lots of work to do. Alexander-Walker has scored at least 16 points in seven straight games and is taking on more work while Young is out, and since he's so busy, Kennard's work will likely go to Wallace, who missed Sunday's game with an illness but returned with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in 11 minutes on Tuesday. His multi-category potential makes him an intriguing streaming or DFS bargain play with Kennard out.

Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Toronto Raptors. If Kennard can suit up, he should get around 20-25 minutes again since Trae Young (knee) remains sidelined and the team continues a committee approach in the backcourt. On the other hand, if Kennard has to sit out, Keaton Wallace would likely see a big bump in minutes off of the bench. The last time he played more than 15 minutes, he registered 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and one steal against the Indiana Pacers. He's most likely be the best streaming option that's also widely available across all fantasy formats.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports that guardLuke Kennard has agreed to a one-year, $11 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks. Kennard lands in Atlanta after spending the past two-plus seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies. During the 2024-25 season, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.7 three-pointers while shooting 43.3 percent from three-point range in 22.6 minutes per contest. The 29-year-old brings veteran leadership and depth to the Hawks on the wing.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kennard is dealing with soreness in his right Achilles. The 28-year-old has not been very productive against the Thunder, scoring just 14 total points in 63 minutes. With Memphis fighting for their playoff lives on Saturday, and Ja Morant already ruled out, there could be a chance that Kennard sees more volume as the Grizzlies fight with desperation. However, the ceiling doesn't appear to be all that high. Fantasy managers and DFS players should be able to find better options elsewhere.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will be available for Tuesday's play-in contest against the Golden State Warriors. Right knee soreness kept Kennard off the court on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Kennard occasionally pops off for a big game but mostly takes the backseat in Grizzlies games. He has averaged only 4.4 points per game in April, despite logging over 20 minutes on most nights.

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Wednesday's clash against Charlotte. The former Duke product is ready for an eighth consecutive appearance. Kennard has finally found his shooting stroke in 2025, sinking 51.4 percent from beyond the arc to average 11.1 points. The Hornets allow the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league, making this a favorable matchup for Kennard.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) was originally listed as out for Monday night's matchup against the Mavs, but he was upgraded to questionable in the afternoon and ultimately will be able to give it a go. He has stepped into a very involved role with Desmond Bane (ankle) and Ja Morant (shoulder) off the floor, as they will be on Monday. With those guards out, Kennard's usage has jumped to 17.3% from his season average of 14.3%. In the three games he has played without the two starters, he averaged 8.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. He could be a solid DFS value play if he's able to have a similar workload on Monday, and his availability crowds Cam Spencer and Yuki Kawamura (shoulder) as potential DFS punt plays.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Kennard is back in action following a one-game absence due to hamstring soreness. Normally, Kennard's status isn't noteworthy, but the Grizzlies are going to need to lean on him more with them being shorthanded. Kennard has finished with double digit points in four of his last five games. He's worth a look as a deep league streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kennard is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. His absence probably won't have a huge impact on the rotation given Kennard is only averaging 19 minutes per game. If he sits, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, and John Konchar will probably all see additional run. None of them are likely going to gain significant playing time from Kennard's possible absence. Out of everyone, Smart probably has the most fantasy upside out of them all, assuming Kennard is out.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard has yet to make his 2024-2025 season debut due to a muscle strain in his foot he sustained during preseason action. The questionable tag marks progress for the 28-year-old, though, as it's the first time he's carried the questionable tag this season. Kennard was a full participant in Tuesday's practice as well, pointing to a positive sign that he may be able to give it a go on Wednesday. Kennard averaged 11.0 PPG while shooting 45% from three in his first full season with the Grizzlies and was brought back on a one-year $9.25 million contract this offseason. The sooner he can get on the court for the 4-4 Grizzlies, the better. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations if he's active for Wednesday night given it will be his first regular season game action in 2024. If he's ruled out, expect Scotty Pippen Jr. to continue to be the main threat off the bench for Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (foot) has been ruled out for at least the first week of the 2024-25 regular season by head coach Taylor Jenkins. Kennard is battling foot soreness sustained during preseason action last week. Memphis has three games scheduled for the first week, starting with a matchup against Utah on Wednesday. John Konchar could see more time on the court in Kennard's absence, although the Grizzlies have their regular backcourt healthy for the start of the season, leaving the bench guys with few opportunities to make an impact.

The Memphis Grizzlies declined the $14.8 million option for guard Luke Kennard on Saturday. The 28-year-old appeared in only 39 games for Memphis last season, averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.9 rebounds. He also shot 45.0% from behind the arc. Memphis hopes to work out a new agreement. But Kennard should draw plenty of interest on the open market for a team looking for a reliable depth piece.
