Free agent guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Phoenix Suns , with a player option for the second season, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Kennard joins the Suns after a successful stint with the Los Angeles Lakers to end last season. Acquired from the Atlanta Hawks at the trade deadline for Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick, Kennard quickly fit in alongside Luka Doncic , LeBron James and Austin Reaves with his elite shooting and playmaking instincts.
The nine-year veteran led the league in 3-point percentage, shooting 47.8% from the outside for the season (44.8% after joining the Lakers), marking the third time in his career he earned that distinction.
The Suns have had a busy offseason, re-signing Collin Gillespie , Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin and then acquiring forward Miles Bridges from the Hornets before now landing Kennard.
Kennard, who turned 30 in June, was on an expiring $11 million contract last season.
