Lakers Injury Report: Latest On Luke Kennard's Availability For Critical Game 6
Three Los Angeles Lakers starters, as has been LA's custom throughout the team's continuing series against the Memphis Grizzlies, are listed on the league's most recent injury report.
But the availabilities of injured-but-probable-to-play Lakers LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Dennis Schröder are not really in doubt. Though the ailments have seemingly impacted all three Los Angeles vets (hopefully that's the problem for Schroder, who has been unable to hit the broad side of a barn in this series but has been solid defensively), they're not the big headline of today's injury report.
Memphis Grizzlies reserve shooting guard Luke Kennard is.
Per the NBA's most recent injury report, Kennard is considered questionable to suit up through what is officially listed as a sore left shoulder.
Should the 6'7" swingman not suit up today, Memphis could severely miss his floor-spacing acumen. He's connecting on 50% of his 3.2 three-pointers per contest in the series so far.
Starting center Steven Adams (right knee PCL sprain), plus reserve forwards Brandon Clarke (left Achilles tear) and Jake LaRavia (sore right calf), remain out. Adams and Clarke are done for the year, and though the rookie LaRavia could technically return, I'm skeptical he'd even make much impact if he did.
