The 28-year-old has not been very productive against the Thunder, scoring just 14 total points in 63 minutes.

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.

The 2017 No. 12 overall pick finished last season by averaging 11.0 points while shooting 45.0% from behind the arc. Yet, he appeared in just 39 games due to injury. Most had assumed Kennard would be back in Memphis, although the deal took longer than anticipated. With that said, he should continue to receive minutes during the 2024-25 campaign. However, outside of efficient three-point shooting, he ...
