In early 2025, trade rumors swirled around Grizzlies sharpshooter Luke Kennard, with speculation suggesting Memphis might deal him to address roster needs with a player like Dorian Finney-Smith. However, the front office ultimately chose to retain Kennard, valuing his elite three-point shooting and veteran presence. Kennard and the Grizzlies take on the Knicks Monday night on 92.9 FM ESPN.
Since then, Kennard has rewarded the Grizzlies’ faith with consistent performances, providing spacing on the floor and clutch shooting in key moments. His ability to stretch defenses has been instrumental in the team’s offensive schemes, especially with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane thriving alongside him.
Here's Geoff Calkins and Chris Herrington from the Daily Memphian discussing Kennard's recent success.
