5 Luke Kennard SG

Kennard will come off the bench in Monday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

After starting Games 2 and 3, Kennard will return to coming off the bench with Bruce Brown moving back into the starting five. Coach Dwane Casey is making the move to provide the second unit with a little more firepower, as Kennard has been one of the few bright spots for the Pistons this series. Through the first three games, he's averaging 16.3 points and 5.0 rebounds over 33.3 minutes per game.

Kennard produced 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-99 loss to Milwaukee.

Kennard replaced Bruce Brown in the starting lineup Wednesday, emerging as the teams leading scorer with 19 points including four triples. Kennard has had an interesting backend to the season, flashing his fantasy upside on many occasions. He has also struggled mightily at times and the inconsistent playing time has certainly been a source of frustration. Given his performance, it would seem likely Kennard starts again Saturday but the Pistons are going to need a lot more from their starters as a unit if they are to push the Bucks.

Kennard is slated to start Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Kennard will purportedly start in place of Bruce Brown for Wednesday's game. The Pistons, sans star Blake Griffin, are looking to change it up after a 35-point thrashing in game one on Sunday and implementing Kennard, who led the charge with 21 points, should help.

Kennard totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes in the Pistons' loss to the Bucks on Sunday.

Kennard led his team in scoring on Sunday and while he didn't start, he played the most minutes at power forward with Blake Griffin (knee) out. Kennard has now averaged 21.0 points over his last three games while draining 13-22 three point attempts.

Kennard finished with 27 points (9-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes in the Pistons' win over the Knicks on Wednesday.

Kennard played a solid 25 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, totaling his second-highest point total of the season. He knocked down four triples, and he's now gone 9-17 on threes in his last two games. He'll continue to get increased play time as long as Blake Griffin (knee) is out.

Kennard (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Kennard was listed as probable with the foot issue heading into the day and received the green light to play after coming out of morning shootaround no worse for the wear. The second-year swingman has been in the midst of a slump while playing in five of the Pistons' past six games, averaging just 5.4 points and 1.2 triples per contest while converting at a 29 percent clip from the field.

Kennard (foot) is probable Sunday against the Hornets.

Despite foot soreness, Kennard has played in the past two games, totaling 13 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 45 minutes. Chances are, he'll take the court again Sunday.

Kennard finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound, and one steal in 16 minutes during Friday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder.

Kennard had been listed as probable due to a foot injury and was held scoreless in limited action. Despite averaging 10.8 points per game in February and 11.4 points per game in March, the inconsistent sophomore has failed to reach double figures in scoring in four of the last five matchups.

Kennard (foot) is available for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Kennard was considered probable with a foot injury, so his availability is no surprise. He'll come off the bench in his usual role Friday night.

Kennard (foot) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Thunder, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Kennard has been hampered with a foot injury for the past week but played through it Wednesday, accumulating 10 points across 29 minutes of action. Although not 100-percent healthy just yet, Kennard's name on the injury report is likely just a precaution.

Kennard accumulated 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes Wednesday against the Pacers.

Kennard logged more playing time than any other Detroit reserve following a one-game absence due to a foot injury. He barely scored above his season average (9.6 ppg) and offered up contributions on the boards as well as a facilitator. With four games remaining in the regular season, it'll be all hands on deck for the Pistons as they aim to claim the best seed possible heading into the postseason.

Kennard (foot) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

In a surprising development, Kennard will be active for Wednesday's game after he was originally deemed doubtful. Kennard did not participate in practice on Monday and Tuesday, so chances are the guard still isn't 100 percent, but there has been no report as to whether he will be limited or not Wednesday night.

Kennard (foot) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

After missing Monday's game and Tuesday's practice with a foot injury, Kennard, who hasn't officially been ruled out just yet, appears highly unlikely to return to action Wednesday against the Pacers. However, there's still a slim chance that Kennard's injury could take a turn for the better overnight.

Kennard (foot) is considered day-to-day after not participating in Tuesday's practice, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Kennard was sidelined for Monday's game against the Pacers with a foot injury, and his absence from Tuesday's practice is not a good sign for his status heading into Wednesday's rematch with Indiana. It sounds like, based on head coach Dwane Casey's remarks, that Kennard will end up being a game-time decision Wednesday.

Kennard (foot) won't play Monday against Indiana, Johnny Kane of Fox Sports Detroit reports.

Kennard will be held out of Monday's clash due to a foot issue, although the severity of the injury remains unclear. He'll likely be a game-time decision for Detroit's next contest Wednesday, also against the Pacers.

Kennard is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to an illness, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.

Both Kennard and Langston Galloway came down with some sort of illness overnight, and coach Dwane Casey said he's unsure about the guards' availability for Monday night. A final call likely won't come until closer to game-time.

Kennard totaled 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-114 loss to the Warriors.

Kennard came off the bench Sunday to score 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting. He has been better over the last couple of games after falling into a slump prior to that. Kennard has been flirting with standard league relevance since the All-Star break but needs to get more consistency in his game before being considered a viable asset.

Kennard totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds over 29 minutes in the Pistons' loss to the Heat on Wednesday.

Kennard didn't do much in Wednesday's loss, producing his third consecutive poor performance. Although he's played nearly 30 minutes per game off the bench, his production is erratic from night-to-night. Over his last three games, he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Kennard can't be counted on for consistency.

Kennard totaled 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 28 minutes in the Pistons' win over the Bulls on Friday.

Kennard has become a reliable scorer off the bench for the Pistons over the last month. He's been especially productive as of late, averaging 20.0 points per game in his last four contests.

Kennard is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to right foot soreness, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Kennard has emerged from Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves with right foot soreness, but the situation is not expected to keep the shooting guard out of action. He's averaging 22.0 points across the past three games.
