Luke Kennard Out for Grizzlies with Hamstring Soreness
Luke Kennard is dealing with right hamstring soreness and will not play for the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury has kept him off the court since January 4, 2025. This news confirms his status as out due to the hamstring issue.
What It Means
Kennard’s absence affects the Grizzlies as he has been a key player in their lineup. He averages 8.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season. His shooting accuracy is notable with a field goal percentage of 43.3% and a three-point percentage of 44.6%.
With Kennard out, Desmond Bane is expected to take on more responsibility at shooting guard. Bane leads the team in minutes per game at that position, averaging 16.7 points per game. Vince Williams Jr. and John Konchar may also see increased playing time to fill the gap left by Kennard’s injury.
