By the time Luke Kennard gets back on the court, there’s a chance it will have been nearly a year since he appeared in an NBA game.
Tendinitis in his knee knocked him out of the Pistons’ lineup after only 28 games last December, and with the league not likely to tip off the 2020-21 season until December of this year, that’s a significant time off the court and something that Kennard, heading into his fourth season, is ready to be done with.
“We're still not 100 percent sure about what is going to be happening, but whatever that is I'll be there for it,” Kennard said on Thursday.
