Signs one-year deal with Memphis
The Grizzlies allowed Kennard to hit free agency when they declined his team option June 29, but there was always mutual interest to get a new deal done. Kennard is a valuable floor spacer for the Grizzlies, especially when playing alongside Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. During the 2023-24 regular season, Kennard drained 45 percent of his three-point attempts. He did miss time at the end of the campaign with a troublesome left knee issue, and that will be an injury to monitor ahead of training camp.

Game-high 27 points in loss
Aldama came out firing against Australia, and he put up a game-high six threes in Saturday's loss. The 23-year-old is the only player for Spain currently on an NBA roster, and he proved his position as the top option in Spain's offense in their opening matchup of the group phase. The squad still has yet to play Canada and Greece in a stacked Group A, and Aldama will likely continue to serve as the focal point of the offense moving forward.
