Luke Kennard out for Game 6 vs. Lakers

Update, Friday, 4/28 — Ahead of Lakers vs. Grizzlies Game 6, Memphis announced that veteran guard Luke Kennard would be out for the game with what they are still only calling shoulder soreness.

Kennard was previously announced to be a gametime decision, and his absence will cost Memphis their most reliable shooter in the series, and likely force the team to give even more minutes to starter Dillon Brooks on the wing.

The Lakers and Grizzlies tip-off at 7:30 p.m PT in Los Angeles. Previous updates follow.

Prior to the Grizzlies’ Game 6 matchup with the Lakers on Friday, the assembled media was able to get a few updates on injured Memphis sharpshooter Luke Kennard, who could not finish Game 5 after sustaining a shoulder injury.
