Report: Grizzlies re-sign Kennard to 1-year, $11M deal

The Memphis Grizzlies are bringing back sharpshooter Luke Kennard on a one-year, $11-million contract, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Kennard spent the last season and a half with the Grizzlies after three years with the Los Angeles Clippers. He's a career 43.9% 3-point shooter and has hit at least 44% of his threes in four straight seasons.

Like many of the Grizzlies' players last season, Kennard was hampered by injuries. He missed 43 games, largely due to a lingering knee issue.

Memphis acquired the guard to provide spacing alongside superstar point guard Ja Morant. Kennard shot a scorching 54% from three in 24 regular-season games with Memphis in 2022-23.

The Grizzlies are looking to rebound from a slide in the standings last season. They trotted out 33 different players across the campaign as Morant, Kennard, and starters Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart each missed at least half the year.
