Guard Luke Kennard leaves the Los Angeles Lakers and agrees to join the Phoenix Suns in free agency, according to multiple reports. Kennard was with the Lakers last season but does not return for the 2026–27 season. He is described as an unrestricted free agent. The agreement is reported as a two-year contract worth $13 million. The move ends Kennard’s time with Los Angeles, which sources characterize as only about half a season. Reports do not indicate any trade involvement, instead framing the change as a free-agent signing. With the Lakers, Kennard’s departure creates roster turnover in the offseason, while the Suns add depth at the guard position through the newly agreed contract terms. The reporting is consistent on the destinations, contract length, and reported total value, though details beyond those points are not provided in the excerpts.
