Kennard agreed to a one-year, $11 million deal with the Hawks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard will join Atlanta after spending the past two-plus seasons with Memphis. The sharpshooter will provide the club with depth on the wing behind Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Zaccharie Risacher. Kennard appeared in 65 regular-season outings (11 starts) in 2024-25, averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers while shooting 43.3 percent from downtown across 22.6 minutes per game.

Kennard posted four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Ja Morant (hip) being ruled out for Game 4, Kennard didn't see an increased role off the bench compared to the 33 minutes he played in Game 3. Kennard spent most of the year as a reserve for the Grizzlies (though he did start in 11 games) and he finished the regular season averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 22.6 minutes per game while connecting on 43.3 percent of his three-point attempts. Kennard will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Kennard (Achilles) is available for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Thunder.

Kennard is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Thunder due to right Achilles soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard is in danger of missing Game 3 due to an Achilles issue. With Ja Morant (hip) deemed doubtful, Memphis could be left with Scotty Pippen as the team's only available point guard against Oklahoma City.

Kennard had five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard logged 33 minutes, sliding up in the rotation after Ja Morant left the game early due to a hip injury. Despite the promotion, Kennard struggled on the offensive end, scoring no more than five points for the third playoff game. Should Morant miss Saturday's Game 4, Kennard could be the primary beneficiary, at least from a minutes standpoint.

Kennard totaled four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Although he's shooting 50 percent from the field in the playoffs, the Grizzlies are using the veteran sharpshooter very sparingly. Through the opening two games, Kennard is averaging 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 15.0 minutes per contest.

Kennard (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard missed the club's regular-season finale in Sunday's win over Dallas due to right knee soreness, though he's set to return for Tuesday's Play-In Game. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 22.5 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances.

Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard will miss Sunday's regular-season finale due to right knee soreness, but he should be ready to go for the start of the Grizzlies' postseason run, potentially as soon as Tuesday for the start of the Play-In Tournament. With Kennard, Desmond Bane (groin), Ja Morant (shoulder) and Scotty Pippen (back) all out, the door is open for Yuki Kawamura, Cam Spencer, Vince Williams and John Konchar to all see increased playing time.

Kennard is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies have already locked up a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so there's no point in risking some of their regular rotation members, and Kennard fits that mold as a dangerous sharpshooter, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. The doubtful tag suggests Kennard might not play, and if he ends up being ruled out, Cam Spencer, John Konchar and Vince Williams could see more time in the backcourt. Other players such as Scotty Pippen (back), Desmond Bane (groin) and Ja Morant (shoulder) are also carrying doubtful tags.
