Story on Luke Kennard following morning shootaround.
If he can’t go, maybe the answer is very simple.
“I’ve seen this movie before,” Jaren Jackson said. “You do that too many times, and a guy gets hot.”

Taylor Jenkins on Luke Kennard:
“I think mobility is fine and stuff. He was feeling good. It’s just general soreness he’s dealing with. Obviously it’s in his shooting arm.”
Decision on his status likely to come shortly before the game. – 8:43 PM

The Grizzlies saw how they could play Luke Kennard over Dillon Brooks last night. Injury, and LeBron, will dictate whether or not Memphis can do more of that, @The Athletic theathletic.com/4457222/2023/0… – 10:06 AM

A crisis forced the Grizzlies to go with Luke Kennard over Dillon Brooks. A new one may force them to go back. @The Athletic theathletic.com/4457222/2023/0… – 9:18 AM

Luke Kennard said it’s a shoulder stinger. When asked if he could have come in the game he says “maybe.”
It will be looked at further tomorrow. – 10:28 PM

Dillon Brooks: -6

Look, as someone who picked the Lakers to win this series, I don’t have a good answer for why Memphis keeps starting Brooks over Kennard… but I’m not complaining about it. – 9:37 PM

The Grizzlies finally seem to have realized that they’re +18 in 53 minutes with Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard on the floor together.
This could prove problematic for the Lakers if LeBron isn’t getting to the rim. – 8:09 PM

Hopefully we can get him back as soon as possible.” If he doesn’t play, that’s three of the top eight out for Memphis. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / April 28, 2023
