Top Luke Kennard News

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Delivers 27 points in victory

    Kennard finished Saturday's 107-98 win over the Rockets in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 27 points (9-13 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes.

    Kennard has cemented himself as the primary beneficiary amidst the Lakers' injury woes. The team faced a bleary outlook coming into the series, considering Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) are likely to miss the first-round series against the Rockets. Kennard has carried over his late-season heroics into the postseason and appears more than ready to continue the charge. He led all scorers in the game by a wide margin. If he can keep the stellar production going, the Lakers' chance of advancing will skyrocket.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Hits for 19 against Phoenix

    Kennard closed with 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 101-73 win over the Suns.

    It was another strong showing from Kennard, who's been keeping the Lakers' backcourt afloat in the absence of Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique). While starting the last four games, Kennard has averaged 14.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.3 boards, 2.3 steals and 1.0 threes.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Cleared to play Friday

    Kennard (finger) is available for Friday's game against Phoenix, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.

    Kennard popped up on Friday's injury report due to a left finger injury, but the veteran sharpshooter has been given the green light to play against the Suns. He has started in each of the Lakers' last three games, and over that span he has averaged 13.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 32.0 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: May be rested

    Kennard is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to left finger injury management.

    Kennard may be rested for the second leg of this back-to-back set after logging 32 minutes with 14 points Thursday. Nick Smith and Bronny James could be pressed into larger roles if Kennard is held out.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Busy on defense in win

    Kennard finished Thursday's 119-103 win over the Warriors with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 32 minutes.

    Making his third straight start with Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) both out, Kennard set a new season high in steals while scoring in double digits for a third straight contest. During his current starting stint, the 29-year-old guard is averaging 13.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.7 boards, 2.0 steals and 0.7 threes in 32.0 minutes.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Records triple-double Sunday

    Kennard provided 15 points (5-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 loss to Dallas.

    With Luka Doncic (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle) sidelined, Kennard moved to the starting lineup, and the sharpshooter responded by notching the first triple-double of his career. Kennard has always had solid value due to his three-point shooting ability, but being a starter and holding a sizable role on offense should translate to a considerable uptick in his fantasy upside. With Reaves sidelined until early May in a best-case scenario and Doncic having an uncertain timetable to return, Kennard should continue to have a large offensive role during the final week of the regular season.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Starting Sunday

    Kennard is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Kennard will draw the start at point guard due to Luka Doncic (hamstring) being out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jake LaRavia, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton. In Kennard's previous start this season, he finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Pours in 19 points from bench

    Kennard logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over the Wizards.

    With Luka Doncic (suspension) and Marcus Smart (ankle) absent, Kennard had a perfect opportunity to contribute, and he delivered with his second-highest scoring total of the season. The Lakers have been running with a shallow rotation, and although the offense doesn't always flow in his direction, he'll be one of the first guys off the bench on a nightly basis.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Bounces back Saturday

    Kennard supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 105-104 victory over the Magic.

    Kennard broke out of a brief scoring slump, as he entered Saturday having been held to 11 total points across his prior five games. He came through when it mattered most against Orlando, draining the game-winning triple with less than a second left on the clock. The veteran sharpshooter is struggling to maintain much fantasy appeal, averaging 6.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.4 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Logs 10 points in victory

    Kennard finished with 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.

    Kennard's acquisition has paid dividends as he continues to log meaningful minutes with his new team. Although he'll need a major injury to be fantasy relevant, he'll provide solid support during the playoff push.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Stays hot from long range

    Kennard finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 110-97 victory over the Knicks.

    The 29-year-old wing continues to make an impact from the second unit for the Lakers. Kennard has drained multiple three-points in six straight games, averaging 11.8 points, 2.8 threes, 2.5 boards and 2.2 assists in 24.7 minutes while shooting a blistering 56.7 percent (17-for-30) from beyond the arc.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Contributes off bench

    Kennard ended Friday's 128-117 victory over the Pacers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes.

    Kennard helped the Lakers close things out with seven of his 15 points coming in the fourth quarter, and he finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Luka Doncic (44) and Austin Reaves (19). Kennard has hit at least two triples in each of his last five games after failing to do so in each of the seven games prior. Over that five-game span, Kennard has averaged 11.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.8 threes over 24.2 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Leads bench Saturday

    Kennard logged 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three assists, three rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during the Lakers' 129-101 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

    Kennard led the Lakers bench in scoring during Saturday's blowout win. He did most of his damage from beyond the arc, and Saturday's contest marked the sixth time this season that the veteran guard has connected on at least four three-pointers in a game. It was Kennard's highest-scoring output since being acquired by the Lakers from the Hawks in early February, and he'll wrap up the month having averaged 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 threes over 22.1 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Extends three-point streak

    Kennard chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 111-89 loss to Boston.

    Kennard's role hasn't taken a dramatic shift since he joined the Lakers, and he remains a deep-league fantasy streamer for triples. The veteran sharpshooter has knocked down at least one trey in eight straight games, during which Kennard has averaged 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.1 minutes per contest while shooting 50.0 percent from downtown.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Back in bench role

    Kennard will be deployed off the bench Thursday against Dallas, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Kennard filled in admirably in a spot start Tuesday against the Spurs, but he'll retreat to his typical bench role for LA's final game before the All-Star break. He's averaging 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last four outings off the bench.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Pops for 14 in Tuesday's rout

    Kennard chipped in 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 136-108 loss to San Antonio.

    The Lakers got chased out of their own building with Luka Doncic (hamstring), LeBron James (foot), Austin Reaves (calf) and other key players all in street clothes, and Kennard wound up tying for the team scoring lead in his first start of the season. The journeyman guard has scored in double digits in two of three games since coming over from the Hawks, and over his last 10 contests, Kennard is averaging 10.3 points, 2.9 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.9 assists in 23.0 minutes.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Draws start Tuesday

    Kennard will start against the Spurs on Tuesday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    With the Lakers shorthanded for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Kennard will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over two outings with the Lakers thus far, the sharpshooter has averaged 8.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.0 minutes per tilt.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Makes Lakers debut

    Kennard amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 win over the Warriors.

    Kennard was acquired at the deadline and quickly proved why he can be effective on his new team. The veteran guard logged a solid 26 minutes, resulting in a pair of threes en route to 10 points. He's making 2.3 threes per game over his last eight outings, but his playing time will dip when Luka Doncic returns from the hamstring injury that forced him to miss Saturday's game.

  • Lakers' Luke Kennard: Available Saturday

    Kennard (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

    Kennard will make his Lakers debut after being traded from Atlanta to Los Angeles on Thursday. The veteran guard is shooting an impressive 49.7 percent from beyond the arc through 46 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, during which he has averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 20.5 minutes per contest.
