Taylor Jenkins on Luke Kennard:
“I think mobility is fine and stuff. He was feeling good. It’s just general soreness he’s dealing with. Obviously it’s in his shooting arm.”
Decision on his status likely to come shortly before the game. – 8:43 PM

The Grizzlies saw how they could play Luke Kennard over Dillon Brooks last night. Injury, and LeBron, will dictate whether or not Memphis can do more of that, @The Athletic theathletic.com/4457222/2023/0… – 10:06 AM

A crisis forced the Grizzlies to go with Luke Kennard over Dillon Brooks. A new one may force them to go back. @The Athletic theathletic.com/4457222/2023/0… – 9:18 AM

Dillon Brooks: -6

Look, as someone who picked the Lakers to win this series, I don’t have a good answer for why Memphis keeps starting Brooks over Kennard… but I’m not complaining about it. – 9:37 PM
