Free agent guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Phoenix Suns, sources confirmed. The deal includes a player option for the second season, giving Kennard flexibility as he enters his age-30 season. This marks the ninth-year veteran's third team in as many seasons after spending the latter part of 2024-25 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kennard arrives in Phoenix following a stellar shooting performance that saw him lead the league with a 47.8% 3-point percentage. After the Hawks traded him to Los Angeles at the deadline for Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick, Kennard shot 44.8% from deep alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James. His elite marksmanship and playmaking instincts immediately upgraded the Lakers' bench production during their playoff push.

The Suns continue an aggressive offseason overhaul, having already re-signed Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin while acquiring forward Miles Bridges from Charlotte. Kennard's addition addresses Phoenix's need for reliable perimeter shooting after struggling with floor spacing throughout last season. The veteran joins a backcourt rotation that now features multiple proven scorers.

At $13 million over two years, Kennard represents a cost-effective addition who fills a specific need. His proven track record of leading the league in 3-point accuracy gives the Suns a legitimate weapon off the bench as they attempt to return to playoff contention in the competitive Western Conference.
