Luke Kennard News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Rough night Saturday Kennard supplied two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 132-106 loss to Boston.

Impact Kennard was invisible in the loss, continuing what has been a disappointing first season in Atlanta. Outside of a brief stretch during which he scored double digits in five straight games, Kennard has not been able to lock down a consistent spot in the rotation. Through 38 appearances, he has averaged just 7.6 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.5 minutes per game.

Erupts for 22 points Kennard racked up 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Kennard exited in the second quarter due to a neck injury but returned and caught fire, pouring in a season-high 22 points while drilling a game-high six three-pointers. The veteran's minutes have fluctuated in a reserve role across all 36 appearances this season, but elite perimeter shooting remains his calling card, as the Duke product is connecting on 47.5 percent from deep and hasn't finished below 40.0 percent since the 2019-20 campaign.
