The Phoenix Suns are expected to sign veteran guard Luke Kennard to a $13 million, two-year contract, according to information reported by multiple outlets citing an Associated Press source. The reported agreement includes a player option for the second season, and it cannot be signed immediately due to league timing rules, with the details shared by a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity. Kennard, listed at 6-foot-5, is described across reports as a consistent 3-point shooter. Over a nine-year NBA career, he has shot 44.2% from 3-point range. Sources also connect the signing to Phoenix’s roster needs for outside shooting. One report notes that the Suns lost some perimeter shooting after trading Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for forward Miles Bridges over the weekend. Overall, the coverage aligns on the reported contract value and term, Kennard’s shooting profile, and Phoenix’s motivation to add additional outside scoring.
