Suns' Luke Kennard: Drops 11 points in season debut
Kennard provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 131-122 victory over the Warriors.
Kennard came off the bench, making his first appearance of the season after missing the opener due to a minor knee concern. He finished with 11 points in 18 minutes, a serviceable outing given the likely rust. Phoenix has a number of backup guard options, including Kennard, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. While all three are likely to be an every-night part of the rotation, they could also cut into each other's playing time, making their respective fantasy value hard to project.

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.

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.
