Free agent sharpshooter Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Phoenix Suns, according to sources via ESPN. The deal marks a significant addition to the Suns' perimeter rotation as they look to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
The agreement includes a player option for the second season, providing Kennard with the flexibility to potentially re-enter the free agent market next summer. Known as one of the most efficient shooters in the league, Kennard brings elite floor-spacing capabilities to a Phoenix team centered around high-volume scoring threats.
Prior to joining the Suns, Kennard spent time with the Memphis Grizzlies, where he continued to showcase his prowess from beyond the arc. Last season, he remained a top-tier statistical threat from deep, a skill set that became a priority for the Phoenix front office this offseason. The 28-year-old guard has maintained a career three-point average of over 43 percent.
The move comes as the NBA free agency period continues to reshape rosters across the Western Conference. By securing Kennard on a multi-year deal, the Suns have addressed a key need for consistent bench scoring and veteran experience in the backcourt.
