The Memphis Grizzlies are bringing back guard Luke Kennard with a one-year, $11 million deal, ESPN reported on Wednesday.

Kennard, 28, averaged 11.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds and shot 45.0 percent from 3-point distance in 39 games (22 starts) with Memphis in 2023-24.

A career 43.9 percent shooter from beyond the arc, Kennard paced the NBA in 3-point percentage in back-to-back seasons in 2021-22 (44.9) and 2022-23 (49.4).

Kennard has career averages of 10.0 points, 2.8 boards and 2.1 assists in 395 games (110 starts) with the Detroit Pistons (2017-20), Los Angeles Clippers (2020-23) and Grizzlies.

The Pistons drafted the Duke product with the 12th overall pick in 2017. Memphis acquired Kennard as part of a three-team trade in February 2023.
