Kendrick Nunn Scores Career-High 36 Points Against Hawks
5 years agoMiami Heat shooting guard Kendrick Nunn was one of three Heat players to hit the 30-point plateau on Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Nunn had the advantage of an overtime period in the Heat's 135-121 win, but his 36 points were still impressive. He did need a career-high 26 shots to get those 36 points, but also chipped in six rebounds, four assists, and one steal to even out the poor ratios. Nunn has scored inconsistently over the last 10 games, registering single-digit scoring outputs in four of those games. He will look to build off his career night, with games against the Lakers and Mavericks this weekend.

Kendrick Nunn Starting Against Cleveland
2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn will start on Sunday against the Cavaliers. Patrick Beverley (illness) is under the weather, opening the door for Nunn to get more involved. The 27-year-old has averaged only 4.9 points this season, so he'll be a risky option for anyone who decides to put him into their fantasy lineup. There's also a chance Russell Westbrook gets more involved from off the bench, which will lower Nunn's ceiling even more.

Kendrick Nunn Impressing Coaching Staff
2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn has impressed the coaching staff, specifically head coach Darvin Ham. As a result, Nunn has been working with the starting unit during practice sessions as of late. The 27-year-old has averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 36.4% from deep throughout his two seasons of play, both with Miami. However, after inking a deal with the Lakers in the summer of 2021, he missed all last season with a right knee injury. With that said, fantasy managers will certainly want to monitor this situation, as Nunn may exceed expectations this season if he lands a spot in the starting lineup.

Kendrick Nunn Given Green Light For More Contact
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) was cleared to increase contact at practice moving ahead. He missed all of last season with a bone bruise. However, head coach Darvin Ham is pleased with Nunn's progress, indicating he's looked "great." The 27-year-old has averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds throughout his two seasons in the league, both with the Heat. While Patrick Beverley is now in the equation, Nunn may still get minutes in 2022-23. Yet, he will need to prove his worth on the fantasy end once he's healthy and back on the court before anyone considers adding him to a roster.

Kendrick Nunn Feels 100 Percent
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) is expected to take the court to begin the 2022-2023 season. He missed all of last season due to a lingering knee issue. However, Nunn has accepted his player option and will remain with the Lakers for at least one more season. When healthy, Nunn averaged nearly 15 points per game and 2.1 triples during his first two seasons with the Miami Heat. There is no doubt that Nunn could be a legitimate asset to the Lakers rotation. First, Nunn must get clearance for 5-on-5 drills with contact. Although, it sounds like Nunn could be ready by the beginning of training camp.
