Kennard (hamstring) is considered questionable for Friday's play-in game against New Orleans, Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard did not make the trip to Minneapolis for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, but there's hope he'll be able to play in Friday's do-or-die contest. The sharpshooter has been receiving treatment over the last few days after he took a knee to the leg during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder. A final call on Kennard's status may not come until close to game-time Friday.

Kennard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right hamstring forced Kennard to exit Sunday's regular-season finale early and will keep him sidelined for at least one additional contest. Kennard averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 46.5 percent from three over the final 17 games of the regular season, so his absence is a big blow for the Clippers at a critical time, though the late-season returns of Paul George and Norman Powell should make his absence sting a bit less.

Kennard (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's play-in game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right hamstring forced Kennard to exit Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder in the third quarter. While it doesn't look to be anything overly serious, with only one day off before the play-in game, Kennard's availability could be in jeopardy if he's still dealing with discomfort Tuesday. Kennard averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 46.5 percent from three over the final 17 games of the regular season, though the return of Paul George would make his potential absence sting a bit less.

Kennard departed Sunday's game against the Thunder with a sore right hamstring and will not return, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard got the start at shooting guard with a handful of regulars resting, and he posted 20 points, four assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes of action before exiting in the third quarter. The Clippers could simply be exercising caution, but Kennard's status is worth monitoring as Tuesday's play-in game against Minnesota approaches.

Kennard is starting Sunday's game against the Thunder, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard returned to the court in Saturday's win over the Kings and will start in Sunday's regular-season finale since Marcus Morris is resting. Kennard has averaged 15.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 32.8 minutes per game in 12 starts this year.

Kennard finished Saturday's 117-98 win over the Kings with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard returned after missing one game with a hamstring injury and was quite efficient, shooting 50 percent from the floor. He also matched a season-high with three steals in the victory. He may see an extended run in the final game of the season against the Thunder with Paul George (rest) taking a seat for the finale.

EDGE Analysis
Coach Tyronn Lue said Friday that he expected Kennard to play, and the 25-year-old should be back in action following a one-game absence. Across his last four appearances, Kennard has averaged 16.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game.

Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Friday that he expects Kennard (hamstring) to be available Saturday against the Kings, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was sidelined Wednesday for the first time since Feb. 14 due to a right hamstring injury, but according to Lue, the issue isn't expected to be serious. The Clippers end the regular season with a back-to-back set -- Saturday against the Kings and Sunday against the Thunder -- and Kennard will likely be available for both contests, though the Clippers' official injury report should provide further clarity.
