Kennard was limited to just 39 games during the 2023-24 regular season due to a knee injury. When healthy, he averaged 11.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game. Known as an elite perimeter scorer, Kennard connected on 45 percent of his three-point attempts, which should ensure a consistent role again this season. Although Kennard's playing time was encouraging, the Grizzlies were without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart for significant portions of the season. Assuming they are healthy during the 2024-25 campaign, Kennard will likely play no more than 20 minutes per game. During the 2020-21 season, Kennard averaged 19.6 minutes per game with the Clippers, ending as the 286th-ranked player. Using that as a jumping-off point, managers should view Kennard as nothing more than an elite three-point streaming option. However, if Memphis is shorthanded again, Kennard could step into a larger role, providing sustainable backend value.
