Kennedy Chandler posted a full line on Thursday with 15 points (6-for-22 FGs), eight rebounds, three assists, four steals and one block against Toronto.
Chandler had a horrific shooting performance, but he was still able to contribute a full line. He’s had a solid summer after spending most of his rookie season with the Memphis Hustle. He has a chance to make Brooklyn’s roster, though he’ll still likely spend more time in the G-League than in Brooklyn next season.
Kennedy Chandler posted a full line on Tuesday with 17 points (4-for-7 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer against Milwaukee.
Chandler spent the majority of his rookie season playing for the Memphis Hustle, but now he finds himself with a chance to make Brooklyn’s roster after being waived by the Grizzlies. He has been solid for the Nets so far this summer, but he had his best game in Vegas on Tuesday. Even if Chandler is able to secure a contract with the Nets, he’ll likely play the majority of his games in Long Island next season with their G-League affiliate.
Kennedy Chandler accounted for 16 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 29 minutes in Friday’s 101-97 loss to Cleveland.
Waived by the Grizzlies on the penultimate day of the regular season, Chandler is looking to catch on with another NBA team. He started Friday’s game for the Nets and was solid, shooting 50% from two and finishing as one of six Nets in double figures. Fellow starter Armoni Brooks finds himself in a similar situation, and he finished the loss with 17 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers in 30 minutes. Neither Brooks nor Chandler should be considered a fantasy asset, as both have work to do to earn a roster spot for next season.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Grizzlies are waiving Kennedy Chandler.
Drafted with the 38th overall pick in last summer's draft, Chandler was signed to a four-year deal in July with the first three seasons guaranteed. The decision to waive Chandler was made due to Memphis' need to free up a roster spot for Kenneth Lofton Jr., whose contract is being changed from a two-way to a standard deal. The Grizzlies need another frontcourt body, with Steven Adams (knee) unlikely to play again this season, hence the Lofton and Chandler transactions.
