PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a $13 million, two-year deal with veteran guard Luke Kennard, a person with knowledge of the deal said on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal \u2014 which includes a player option for the second season \u2014 cannot be signed yet.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-5 guard has consistently been one of the most accurate 3-point shooters in the NBA, hitting 44.2% of his attempts over a nine-year career. He spent time between the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers last season, averaging 8.4 points.<\/p>\n
Kennard replenishes some of the outside shooting the Suns lost over the weekend when they dealt Grayson Allen and Royce O\u2019Neale to the Charlotte Hornets for forward Miles Bridges.<\/p>\n
The Suns finished with a 45-37 record last season and were the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference for the playoffs before getting swept in the opening round by the Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
