Kennard (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive matchup due to personal reasons. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but GG Jackson, Jordan Goodwin and DeJon Jarreau are candidates to see increased run in his absence.

Kennard won't play in Monday's game against the Kings due to personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard has been in and out of the lineup as of late due to a combination of an illness and a knee injury, but he will miss Monday's game due to personal reasons. John Konchar will likely start in place of Kennard and GG Jackson should get significant minutes as well.

Kennard recorded 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes Tuesday in the Grizzlies' 109-97 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Though he shifted into more of an off-ball role Tuesday with two-way player Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) returning to serve as the Grizzlies' starting point guard, Kennard still managed to set a new season high in assists. Kennard has missed some time recently due to a sore left knee, but the injury appears to be in the rear-view mirror for now, as he's not listed on the Grizzlies' injury report ahead of the second leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Hornets. Kennard should be in store for another 25-plus-minute role Wednesday, though his usage could take a sizable hit once Desmond Bane (ankle) -- who is listed as doubtful versus the Hornets -- is cleared to return.

Kennard (knee) is slated to start at point gaurd in Sunday's matchup with the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was originally listed as questionable before getting the green light to return from a one-game absence. Jordan Goodwin (Achilles), who started for him last game, will be sidelined in this contest. As a result, Kennard will only have one backup option behind him in the recently acquired DeJon Jarreau.

Kennard (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard and GG Jackson (knee) have been upgraded to available, while John Konchar (ankle), Vince Williams (knee) and Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) will join Memphis' long list of inactive players. In five appearances since the All-Star break, Kennard has averaged 12.6 points and 3.2 assists in 26.6 minutes per game.

Kennard (knee) is questionable to play Sunday at Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard didn't play Friday against the Hawks due to a knee problem, and it seems he could end up on the sidelines once again Sunday. Kennard has been deadly from three-point range when available for the Grizzlies, but that has been an issue of late, as he's missed nine of Memphis' last 21 contests.

Kennard (knee) will not play in Friday's game versus the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Kennard was considered doubtful heading into Friday's game. He's missed several games with left knee soreness, and the Grizzlies will likely continue to err on the side of caution. John Konchar and Jordan Goodwin could pick up extra minutes with Kennard sidelined.

Kennard is considered doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Hawks due to left knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard hasn't officially been ruled out for Friday, but after suiting up in three straight games following a two-game absence due to an illness, he appears headed for another absence. If Kennard ends up sitting Friday, John Konchar and Jordan Goodwin could be in store for extended minutes as the team's lone healthy guards.
