Free agent guard Luke Kennard has reached an agreement on a new deal with the Phoenix Suns. The commitment was confirmed by Kennard’s agents, Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn of CAA Sports, who finalized the terms with the Phoenix front office moments ago, according to reports.
The addition of Kennard provides the Suns with one of the NBA's premier outside shooting threats. Known for his elite efficiency from beyond the arc, Kennard is expected to play a significant role in spacing the floor for the Phoenix offense. The move marks another step in the Suns' efforts to bolster their rotation and add veteran depth through free agency this summer.
Throughout his career, Kennard has consistently ranked among the league leaders in three-point percentage, making him a highly sought-after floor spacer. His arrival in Phoenix follows a period of active roster management by the organization as they look to remain competitive in a crowded Western Conference. While the Suns have been linked to several roster moves this offseason, the acquisition of Kennard addresses a specific need for consistent perimeter scoring.
Specific details regarding the length of the contract and the financial terms have not yet been disclosed. The Suns are expected to officially announce the signing once the mandatory moratorium period or final paperwork is processed.
