LUKE KENNARD NEWS

Will start Friday Kennard will start Friday's game against Minnesota, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact With Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (hamstring) both out, Kennard and Terance Mann will enter the starting lineup. Across his six previous starts this season, Kennard has posted 6.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 21.0 minutes.

Scores 11 efficient points in loss Kennard notched 11 points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to the Heat.

Impact Kennard played the fewest minutes of any Clipper who participated in the contest, but he nonetheless managed to finish as one of four players on the team with double-digit points. He got to that scoring total on the strength of efficient shooting marks from the field (3-for-4, including 2-for-2 from beyond the arc) and from the charity stripe (3-for-3). Kennard produced almost nothing in terms of peripheral stats, but this was a good bounce-back effort after he totaled just seven points on 2-for-9 shooting over his previous three games.

Off minutes limit Kennard said that he's 100 percent healthy and clear of all minute restrictions, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Kennard has been capped at 29 minutes since returning from a calf injury Dec. 5. He's played well since then, averaging 12.3 points and making 2.7 threes on 50.0 percent from distance in 24.3 minutes across six appearances. Don't expect him to start suddenly seeing minutes in the mid-30s, however. He's seen 30-plus minutes just once this season and is competing with Paul George, Norman Powell (groin) and Terance Mann for minutes.

Cleared for Saturday Kennard isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's matchup against Washington, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kennard was sidelined for the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back set Thursday due right calf soreness, but he'll be back in the mix Saturday. Over his past five appearances, the sharpshooter has averaged 10.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game.

Out Thursday Kennard (calf) won't play in Thursday's contest against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kennard is dealing with right calf soreness and will miss his 12th game of the season. With Kennard and Reggie Jackson (Achilles) both ruled out, the Clippers will likely rely heavily on John Wall and Terance Mann in the backcourt.

Nabs questionable tag Thursday Kennard is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Suns due to right calf soreness, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact Kennard's potential absence could leave the Clipper shorthanded in the backcourt, with Reggie Jackson (Achilles) out. John Wall and Terrance Mann will likely see extended minutes if Kennard is unable to play against the Suns.

Scores 12 points in win Kennard had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one assist and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 113-93 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Kennard, who's struggled to produce this season, surpassed the 10-point mark for the first time since Nov. 9, when he scored 13 points as a starter in a win over the Lakers. Aside from the fact that he's already missed 11 games due to injury, Kennard has been too inconsistent to be valuable in most fantasy formats, especially if both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George remain available and healthy going forward.

Turns in decent final line Kennard contributed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Heat.

Impact Kennard put together an average outing in just his second game since Nov. 15, as he's working his way back into game shape following a calf injury that forced him to miss 10 of his team's last 11 matchups. The Duke product has logged 20 or more minutes in each of his two games since being cleared, so he doesn't appear to be on any sort of minute restriction.

Not on injury report Thursday Kennard (calf) will play in Thursday's game against Miami, Law Murray of The Athletic reports

Impact Kennard will return Thursday after missing Wednesday's game against the magic with a calf injury. Kennard should see extended minutes against Miami with Terance Mann (concussion) and Norman Powell (groin) out.

Won't play Wednesday Kennard (injury management) won't play Wednesday against the Magic, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kennard returned from a nine-game absence due to a calf injury Monday and scored nine points (3-5 FG) in 20 minutes. His absence Wednesday can likely be attributed to rest, so fantasy mangers can optimistically expect him to be available for the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back Thursday. However, the lefty sharpshooter figures to remain limited while he works his way back to full strength.

Gets 20 minutes in return Kennard (calf) logged 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-117 win over the Hornets, finishing with nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists.

Impact Kennard was on a minute restriction in his return from a nine-game absence, but it's unlikely that he'll see a dramatic increase in playing time now that the Clippers are at close to full strength. His return coincided with stars Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Paul George (hamstring) also making their way back from multi-game absences, leaving fewer minutes available for the rest of the Clippers' wing and forward options. Norman Powell (groin) is also expected to rejoin the mix eventually, a development that could squeeze Kennard's playing time even further.

Available but will be limited Kennard (calf) is available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Kennard will be available for the first time since suffering a calf injury during a Nov. 15 loss to Dallas. However, as to be expected, the sharpshooter will be limited during his return from a lengthy absence, per Perley. With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George also available, Kennard figures to operate off the bench. Across seven games as a reserve, Kennard has averaged 8.9 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Monday's contest Kennard (calf) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kennard suffered a calf injury Nov. 15 against the Mavericks and has remained sidelined since. Monday's designation marks the first time Kennard has been listed as questionable since suffering the injury, so even if he doesn't suit up, it appears he's nearing a return to game action.

Won't play Saturday Kennard (calf) won't take the floor Saturday versus the Kings, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kennard has spent more than two weeks on the sidelines tending to a calf issue and will need at least a little longer to get it where he wants. On a positive note, Kennard will practice Friday, per Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times, so he seems to be drawing closer to a return. The sharpshooter's next opportunity to rejoin the action surfaces in the first of a four-game road trip Monday in Charlotte.
