Luke Kennard

Luke Kennard was added to the injury report as questionable for Game 2 against the Thunder on Thursday with a neck injury.

Fantasy Impact

This is the first time Kennard has popped up on the injury report due to neck soreness, and his status for Game 2 is now in question. If the three-point specialist is unable to suit up, Bronny James may see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Luke Kennard is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Kennard was banged up in Thursday's win over the Warriors. He should remain in a playmaking role if he is healthy.

Kennard accounted for more than half of the Lakers' three-point makes Monday, finishing as one of the team's top scorers with 19 points (7-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four three-pointers, two rebounds, one steal, and one assist in the win over the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

The production is almost entirely tied to the three-point shooting — when the shots are falling like they were Monday, the scoring comes easy, but the contribution beyond the arc remains limited.

Luke Kennard is available to make his Lakers debut on Saturday against the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact

The Lakers acquired Kennard at the trade deadline. He will add another shooter on the outside for them.

Luke Kennard has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Gabe Vincent and a second round pick.

Fantasy Impact

Kennard should provide the Lakers a nice shooter on the outside as the veteran guard has been shooting nearly 50% from three this season, albeit on low volume. If he sees his role grow in LA, he could be a sneaky fantasy add.
