Kennard is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Hawks due to right calf soreness, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has played in 10 consecutive games, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 22.3 minutes over that span, but joins Paul George (hamstring) and Nicolas Batum (ankle) on Sunday's injury report. If he's out, more minutes could be in store for Norman Powell and/or Terance Mann.

Kennard amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard moved into the starting lineup Friday but failed to make the most of the opportunity. With both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George given the night off as part of their injury management plan, the Clippers looked to their fringe guys for help. Unfortunately, Kennard came up short, a letdown for anyone who happened to stream him. Moving forward, he holds no long-term value and should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate if and when the team is undermanned.

Kennard notched 11 points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard played the fewest minutes of any Clipper who participated in the contest, but he nonetheless managed to finish as one of four players on the team with double-digit points. He got to that scoring total on the strength of efficient shooting marks from the field (3-for-4, including 2-for-2 from beyond the arc) and from the charity stripe (3-for-3). Kennard produced almost nothing in terms of peripheral stats, but this was a good bounce-back effort after he totaled just seven points on 2-for-9 shooting over his previous three games.

Kennard said that he's 100 percent healthy and clear of all minute restrictions, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has been capped at 29 minutes since returning from a calf injury Dec. 5. He's played well since then, averaging 12.3 points and making 2.7 threes on 50.0 percent from distance in 24.3 minutes across six appearances. Don't expect him to start suddenly seeing minutes in the mid-30s, however. He's seen 30-plus minutes just once this season and is competing with Paul George, Norman Powell (groin) and Terance Mann for minutes.

EDGE Analysis
