Luke Kennard Press Conference | Kings vs. Grizzlies
Great yep okay I know it’s been a while since you get out there you didn’t get the results on the court but how do you feel you played tonight your first game back um pretty good um shot it pretty well um but I mean overall I I felt good
Um in the minutes that I played and um you know I do just want to say like I want to give credit to the training staff um they really you know pushed me throughout like this rehab and um showed me a lot of things that are
Going to help me throughout my career so they you know I give a lot of thanks to them and uh just for getting me back out there and and feeling good and being ready to go so yeah is it difficult when you’re out in the team struggling to not
Be able to be out there and and what was it like to work through that yeah absolutely um I mean it’s it’s really frustrating when you’re not out there with the guys and um you know we rough stretch here the last uh last few games but um you know getting guys back you
Know it might take a little bit to get a rhythm with everybody but um we have guys that have been in the league for a while now and uh you know I think we’ll we we’ll start to figure it out I know we’re we’re confident in each other um
We know the team that we have and and what we can be and um but you know this is just a you know a test for us you know towards the beginning of the season and um but yeah like you said it’s it’s it’s frustrating when you’re not out not
Out there and it it was a long time but um I’m happy to be back now Luke I think this is the most available regular play they’ve had all season how long do you think it’s going to get before you guys can get that chemistry and get clicking
On the same page um yeah I mean I I don’t think it’ll take that long honestly I know um you know most of the guys on the team um you know they play together for a while um we have a couple new guys but we know what they bring um
You know this is this is my full season here now um and even though I’ve been out for a while you know I’ve been I was able to play with them a little bit last year so we know what each other can do
Um we know what we can be as a team and we’re confident in each other um confident in the coaches um and we know that that we have to be better um tonight was not good I mean got out rebounded by a lot but um yeah we we
Know we need to be better um and I think we will just kind of off that is that something like when you were playing early in the season J was out now he’s back guys are starting to come back you’re back does that give you confidence even though it’s been a tough
Start to the season yeah absolutely um you know we’re slowly getting guys back I know we still have a um couple guys that are that are hurt that going to be out for a longer period of time but um with the guys that we have now we we we
Know what we have um and you know it gives me a lot of confidence uh to know who we have out there and um you know our main guys and our leaders uh they got to be great and we we expect a lot out of them and they’ve done a
Tremendous job so far um this season you know keeping us together and um you know doing their thing and um but yeah you know having you know getting guys back slowly is is a good thing and uh we’ll start to get a rhythm here here really soon all right thank you

they suck , they got giannis like talent , but this sucks balls
Good game from luke. But this team sucks
FIRE JENKINS
The team has no chance of success play undersized and under skilled forwards at the center position. There is a lack of confidence and the coach seems to be clueless. Jenkins doesnβt seem to know what to do it is obvious a change needs to happen.
Dumb ass coach and gm sucks
Apart from Luke no one on this team can damn shoot. Last 3 performances was pathetic an disgraceful. Make a trade for a Centre bc teams will continue to punk this side an the results are going to be the same. No one can bloody rebound especially the bigs. Get rid of Bis an Tillman for a proper Centre. Do something bc it ain't working right now.
