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 (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.
