Kendrick Nunn News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards | FOX Sports

Disappears in loss Nunn ended Wednesday's 134-120 loss to the Kings with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across 11 minutes.

Impact Nunn was expected to have a much larger role with Russell Westbrook (foot) sidelined, but Nunn failed to score and only played 11 minutes. His horrible line is a result of coach Darvin Ham's continued experimentation with the rotation, and Nunn was the obvious victim Wednesday. Until a more prominent role solidifies, Nunn is a very risky fantasy proposition.

Drops 15 points off bench Nunn recorded 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to Toronto.

Impact Nunn put together his best scoring night in a month, as he scored 18 points Nov. 7 against Utah. The guard hasn't been much of a factor within the Lakers' rotation of late, averaging 11.8 minutes over his last eight matchups.

Shifts back to bench role Nunn will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Nunn started the Lakers' last two games, but he'll return to a bench role Wednesday as Patrick Beverley rejoins the starting five. Nunn had his most productive outing since the season opener in Monday's loss to the Jazz, recording 18 points across 27 minutes of action.

Breaks through with 18 points Nunn totaled 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 27 minutes in Monday's loss to Utah.

Impact Nunn made his second straight start with Patrick Beverley out of action due to a non-COVID illness. Though he produced almost no complementary stats in the loss, it was nice to see Nunn finally show something on offense, as he went 7-for-11 from the field en route to a season-best 18 points. This was his first double-digit scoring performance since the first night of the campaign, and the Lakers will look for him to provide more efforts like this as they look to turn around what has been an ugly start to the season.

Garners spot start Nunn will start at point guard in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Impact He'll be entering the starting five as a replacement for Patrick Beverley (illness), who is sidelined for the first time all season. Considering that Nunn had effectively been outside of the Lakers' rotation the past three games, he won't necessarily be a safe bet to inherit all of the 27.9 minutes per contest Beverley has averaged for the season.

Unimpressive in loss Nunn posted nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and two rebounds in 12 minutes during Friday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Nunn continues his cold spell from beyond the arc, currently residing at a 23.8 percent clip. It's not for a lack of trying, however. Per 36 minutes, Nunn is launching 10.2 three-point attempts per game -- a top-10 rate in the league. He'll look to get on track moving forward.

Struggles as Lakers fall Thursday Nunn posted zero points (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 11 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Coming off what was an encouraging performance in the season opener, Nunn failed to hit a shot Thursday, going 0-for-7 from the field. For anyone that streamed him ahead of Thursday's matchup, he can likely be returned to the waiver wire given his performance against the Clippers.

Goes for 21 points off bench Nunn delivered 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists and four rebounds across 25 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 124-121 win over the Warriors.

Impact Nunn has been mentioned as a potential starter for the Lakers before the start of the regular season, and this performance should certainly boost his chances of earning a role in the backcourt alongside Russell Westbrook. Nunn missed the entire 2021-22 season while rehabbing from a knee injury, but he seems healthy enough to contribute ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Excels in relief role Nunn notched 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 119-115 exhibition loss to the Suns.

Impact After starting Monday's preseason game, Nunn was supplanted by Patrick Beverley on Wednesday evening. This spot will be interesting moving forward, and a lot will depend on how well each player performs alongside Russell Westbrook. While Nunn is pure shooter with a lot of upside, Beverley has an intangible effect on the floor that doesn't always transfer to a good stat line. The position battle will be worth monitoring as fantasy drafts get underway.

Not starting Wednesday Nunn will come off the bench for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact With the Lakers experimenting with a small-ball lineup Wednesday, Nunn will shift to the bench after recording nine points, two rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes of action as a starter during Monday's preseason opener against the Kings. Patrick Beverley will replace him in the starting five, joining Russell Westbrook, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Supplies nine points in start Nunn turned in nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 20 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition loss to the Kings.

Impact Nunn will be an interesting wrinkle in the Lakers' bid to return to the playoffs. After two productive seasons with the Heat, Nunn suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss all of last season. The Lakers are in desperate need of shooting support, so if Nunn can shake off the rust and play like he did in Miami, he could provide a much-needed shot in the arm for the offense. It's too soon to tell, but there's a good chance he will be in the starting lineup alongside Russell Westbrook when the season begins.

Will start Monday Nunn said he'll start Monday's preseason game against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nunn was sidelined for the entire 2021-22 campaign due to a bone bruise in his right knee, but he was cleared for contact at the end of September and, barring a setback, appears full go for the regular season. The undrafted guard out of Oakland was dynamic for the Heat during his first two seasons in the NBA, but he hasn't played in over a year, so some rust is expected.
