Travels, still iffy for Wednesday Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Kennard (calf) will travel with the team to Utah, but Kennard's status for Wednesday's game against the Jazz remains undetermined, Law Murray of...

Impact After returning from a five-game absence and playing 29 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers, Paul George will get some maintenance for his hamstring injury and sit out Wednesday, while Kawhi Leonard hasn't played both ends of a back-to-back set this season and also appears likely to sit in Utah after playing 36 minutes against the Sixers. With that in mind, Kennard's potential return Wednesday from a five-game absence of his own would be a boon while the Clippers are likely without their top two wings. Since the Clippers won't hold a morning shootaround in Utah, official word on Kennard's status one way or the other may not arrive until shortly before the 9 p.m. ET opening tip. If available against the Jazz, Kennard will likely be on some sort of minutes restriction.

Won't practice Monday Kennard (calf) won't participate in Monday's practice session, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Kennard has missed the last four games due to right calf soreness, and his absence from Monday's practice doesn't bode well for his status for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. If he's unavailable once again, Norman Powell and Terance Mann should continue to see increased roles.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Hawks Kennard is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Hawks due to right calf soreness, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kennard has played in 10 consecutive games, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 22.3 minutes over that span, but joins Paul George (hamstring) and Nicolas Batum (ankle) on Sunday's injury report. If he's out, more minutes could be in store for Norman Powell and/or Terance Mann.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet night despite spot start Kennard amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Kennard moved into the starting lineup Friday but failed to make the most of the opportunity. With both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George given the night off as part of their injury management plan, the Clippers looked to their finger guys for help. Unfortunately, Kennard came up short, a let down for anyone who happened to stream him in. Moving forward, he holds no long-term value and should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate if and when the team is undermanned.

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.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
