Suns' Luke Kennard: To miss preseason finale
Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for the Suns' final game of the preseason Friday against Utah, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Kennard is dealing with left knee soreness, and while he'll take a seat Friday, the team doesn't this to turn into an extended absence, per Gambadoro. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's opener against Portland.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Dealing with sore knee
Kennard experienced soreness in his left knee during Wednesday's preseason game, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Coach Jordan Ott said following the game that Kennard was in good spirits despite the discomfort, and the team will evaluate how his knee responds Friday. The severity of the issue remains unclear, making his status worth monitoring as the regular season approaches.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Scores game-high 20 points
Kennard delivered 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes in Saturday's 102-98 preseason win over the Spurs.
Kennard got the start over Devin Booker (rest) in this preseason matchup and led the Suns in scoring while draining a team-high four threes and dishing out four dimes. Seeing Kennard thrive as a shooter and playmaker will boost his fantasy stock considerably, but ultimately, his role will be limited to a secondary one as long as Booker and Jalen Green are healthy and available.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Starting vs. San Antonio
Kennard is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Kennard will get the nod in the starting lineup over Devin Booker, who will be rested for this contest. Kennard averaged 8.4 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range in the 2025-26 regular season, and most of his fantasy value in 2026-27 will come from his shooting ability.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Provides four dimes
Kennard finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.
Kennard contributed as a secondary playmaker despite attempting just one three-pointer. The veteran sharpshooter figures to provide Phoenix with perimeter spacing and offensive versatility off the bench, though his fantasy value will depend largely on his playing time and three-point production.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Encouraged to shoot more
Kennard said Monday that head coach Jordan Ott has encouraged him to significantly increase his three-point volume this season, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.
"They want me to shoot, and they want me to shoot a lot," Kennard said, adding that he's been given the green light to attempt both open and more difficult looks. Kennard led the NBA by shooting 47.8 percent from three during the 2025-26 regular season but attempted only 3.1 triples per game. Ott has already warned Kennard that the increased volume could prevent him from leading the league in three-point percentage again, but a more aggressive approach from beyond the arc could boost the veteran sharpshooter's scoring production in Phoenix.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Signs with Phoenix
Kennard signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Suns on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After playing for three teams in the past two seasons, Kennard will join the Suns and figures to play a meaningful role off the bench. The veteran sharpshooter appeared in 78 regular-season games (six starts) between the Hawks and Lakers in 2025-26, averaging 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals in 21.6 minutes per game. He also led the league in three-point percentage, shooting 47.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Quiet in Game 4 loss
Kennard notched five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Kennard certainly had some positive moments in the playoffs, stepping up for the injured Luka Doncic (hamstring). The veteran sharpshooter is now set to hit the open market as a free agent, where he will likely garner plenty of interest. Across 78 regular-season contests, Kennard averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Available for Game 2
Kennard (neck) has been cleared to play in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder on Thursday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Kennard evidently picked up the neck injury during Game 1, but the issue won't prevent him from taking the court Thursday evening. He'll presumably provide support off the bench behind Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart in Game 2.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Questionable for Game 2
Kennard is questionable for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with the Thunder due to neck soreness.
Kennard must have tweaked his neck during Game 1 on Tuesday, and now he's in danger of sitting out Game 2. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James.
