Luke Kennard (injury recovery) out for Grizzlies Friday

The Memphis Grizzlies will not have Luke Kennard (injury recovery) available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Kennard will miss a fifth straight game as the Grizzlies try to wrap up their injury-ridden season. His absence should keep Scotty Pippen Jr. locked into a starting role Friday.

Pippen Jr. is averaging 26.5 FanDuel points per game this season, as well as 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per 36 minutes.
