Kennard (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard suffered the injury Friday against the Spurs, but the Clippers have not given any additional details other than saying he suffered from chest discomfort. Kawhi Leonard (knee) is also out, so Norman Powell, who started the second half Friday, might see an uptick in minutes against Utah. Kennard's next chance to play will come Monday against the Cavaliers.

Kennard has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Spurs due to chest discomfort, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Norman Powell started the second half for Kennard, who remained in the locker room to start the second half due to the chest injury. Kennard finished the contest with two points in nine minutes. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but his next chance to suit will come Sunday against the Jazz.

Kennard supplied eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 95-93 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard started for the first time this season and responded with a season-high output in rebounds, but his scoring numbers were not on the same level. Through seven games, Kennard has been coming off the bench most of the time and is averaging 9.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting a solid 44.4 percent from three-point range.

Kennard is starting Monday's game against the Rockets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard had come off the bench in his team's first six contests of the 2022-23 season, but he'll get an opportunity to run with the first unit Monday evening. Terance Mann will move to a bench role as a result.

Kennard ended Tuesday's 108-94 loss to the Thunder with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers didn't have Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (illness), and Kennard was one of the players who benefited from that -- he posted season-high marks in points, rebounds, assists, field goals made and field goals attempted, among other categories. While he is not expected to jump into the starting lineup any time soon, Kennard can be worth a flyer in deep formats, though most of his value lies in what he can do as a bench scorer and three-point shooter.

Kennard closed Sunday's 112-95 loss to Phoenix with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 18 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard wasn't a go-to solution with the Clippers battling a double-digit deficit throughout Sunday's contest. His playing time marked a season low, despite Los Angeles shooting just 28.1 percent (9-of-32) from beyond the arc. Both Kennard and the Clippers will look to rebound Tuesday against Oklahoma City.

Kennard accumulated 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 28 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 win over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Norman Powell and Kennard appear to be in a time-share since they have alternated the starting duties though two games. In Saturday's win, Powell struggled with his shot a bit and Kennard put in 28 efficient minutes. Kennard started the first game and the two shared the floor for part of the third quarter during that contest, so the correlation may not be absolute.

Kennard (ankle) contributed nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard wasn't expected to be available for Sunday's contest, but he must have felt good enough where the Clippers were comfortable with putting him in the game. It's unclear if Kennard will receive a similar workload Wednesday against the Nuggets, but even if he gets a rest day, it appears the wing will be fully healthy when the regular season tips off next week.

Kennard (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's exhibition against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers will presumably continue playing it safe after Kennard rolled his ankle in the preseason opener. He should be healthy for the regular season and continue to be in the rotation as one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA. Last year, he led the league with a 44.9 percentage from deep, making 2.7 per game in his 27.4 minutes.

Clippers coach Ty Lue said that Kennard (ankle) will miss practice Wednesday but is expected to play in upcoming preseason games, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard rolled his ankle in Monday's preseason opener versus the Trail Blazers. However, he has not sustained a serious injury and should not miss much time in the preseason or regular season. Kennard should hold down a recurring bench role for the Clippers again in 2022-23, though his minutes will likely decline with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard back in the mix.
