  • Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Headed back to NBA

    The Jazz recalled Lofton from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.

    Lofton will return to the Jazz after a brief stint in the G League. The 20-year-old big man will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs.

  • Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Recalled from G League

    Utah recalled Lofton from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars in advance of Tuesday's game against Boston, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

    Lofton was assigned to to the G League earlier Tuesday, but he will officially be elevated to the Jazz' roster alongside fellow new roster addition Darius Bazley. That being said, Lofton played 30 minutes in Tuesday's victory over the Wisconsin Herd, so the Jazz aren't likely to open up a rotation spot for him against the Celtics.

  • Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Joins Utah on three-year deal

    Lofton and the Jazz agreed to a three-year, non-guaranteed contract Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Lofton will move on to his third organization of the season after stints with the Grizzlies and 76ers. Because the deal is non-guaranteed, the Jazz can get a risk-free look at Lofton. Given the Jazz's position in the standings in addition to their mounting injury list, Lofton will almost certainly get an opportunity to play rotational minutes at some point down the stretch.

  • Kenneth Lofton: Cut by 76ers

    The 76ers waived Lofton on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    During Lofton's limited time with the 76ers, he made just two appearances at the NBA level. The 21-year-old big man has been consistently dominant at the G League level, however, averaging 26.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.1 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 30.6 minutes per game over 13 appearances between the Delaware Blue Coats and Memphis Hustle. Upon clearing waivers, Lofton could attract interest from another NBA team on a 10-day or two-way deal.

  • 76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Logs five minutes off bench

    Lofton (personal) tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over five minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 127-104 loss to the Warriors.

    Lofton, one of Philadelphia's three two-way players, appeared in game for either the 76ers or the G League's Delaware Blue Coats for the first time since Jan. 10, after he had been out of action for most of the past month due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder as well as a personal matter. With the 76ers ruling out six other players to injuries, Lofton received some run off the bench in garbage time, but the second-year big man will likely head to Delaware once the NBA club is closer to full strength.

  • 76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Out again

    Lofton hasn't appeared in a game for the 76ers or the G League's Delaware Blue Coats since Jan. 10. He had initially been dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, but he now finds himself sidelined due to personal reasons for a second straight game. He will most likely make his next appearance in the G League whenever he's available.

  • 76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Won't play Saturday

    Lofton (shoulder) is listed as out for Saturday's game versus Denver due to personal reasons.

    Lofton, one of the 76ers' three two-way players, hasn't seen any action at the NBA or G League level since Jan. 10 due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The 76ers are classifying his absence differently for Saturday's game, perhaps hinting that he's fully healed from the shoulder injury. In any case, Lofton is unlikely to factor into the Philadelphia frontcourt rotation anytime soon and is expected to make his next appearance in the G League whenever he's cleared to play again.

  • 76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Sent to G League

    The 76ers assigned Lofton (shoulder) to the Delaware Blue Coats of the G League on Thursday.

    Lofton will return to the G League after missing the 76ers' last three games with a joint sprain in his left shoulder. It's unclear if Lofton is healthy enough to suit up for Delaware, which plays its next game Saturday.

  • 76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Joins Sixers on two-way pact

    Lofton agreed to a two-way contract with Philadelphia on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Lofton was waived by the Grizzlies earlier in the week but was quickly able to find an opportunity with another organization. With the move to Philadelphia, Lofton won't dramatically improve his standing on the depth chart compared to where he slotted into the Memphis frontcourt. Joel Embiid (ankle), Paul Reed and Mo Bamba are all likely to rank ahead of him in the pecking order at center, while Robert Covington represents a small-ball option at the position. Instead, Lofton may end up seeing the majority of his action with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.

  • Kenneth Lofton: Officially waived

    Lofton was waived by the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Lofton was a logical cut candidate with Memphis needing to clear a roster spot in advance of Ja Morant's return from a 25-game suspension Tuesday. Bismack Biyombo has entrenched himself as a part-time contributor in the Grizzlies' frontcourt since being signed in early November, and his initial addition to replace Steven Adams (knee) is what created the roster crunch. Across 31 G League appearances last season, Lofton shot 64.3 percent at the rim and 31.6 percent on his catch-and-shoot threes, so there is credence to him potentially being claimed by another franchise off waivers. Charania notes that Lofton is expected to receive free-agent interest if he goes unclaimed.

  • Grizzlies' Kenneth Lofton: On way out of Memphis

    The Grizzlies are expected to waive Lofton when Ja Morant is eligible to return to the 15-man roster Tuesday following the conclusion of his 25-game suspension, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    After taking home G League Rookie of the Year honors while playing on a two-way deal with Memphis in 2022-23, Lofton has been an occasional contributor to the rotation for the injury-riddled Grizzlies in his second NBA season. However, the 6-foot-6, 275-pound big man was ultimately deemed expendable after he averaged just 6.6 minutes per game across 15 appearances. The Grizzlies used the roster exemption they were granted with Morant's season-opening absence to sign Bismack Biyombo, and he looks as though he'll stick with the club on a more permanent basis since he's been a more valuable contributor to the rotation than Lofton this season. Though Lofton lacks athleticism and perimeter shooting, the dominance he displayed as a scorer and rebounder in the paint in the G League could allow him to catch on elsewhere as an end-of-roster player.
