What happened
With Devin Booker and Miles Bridges out, Luke Kennard handled more of Phoenix’s offense in Saturday’s 102-98 preseason win over San Antonio, finishing with 20 points on 15 shots and 10 three-point attempts.
The Suns are still splitting starting-center chances between Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with Ighodaro starting the first two games and Maluach the third, and neither player has clearly separated after three preseason outings.
Kennard’s usage suggests Phoenix may lean on his shooting when regular scorers sit, but the guard-wing hierarchy is still being tested. The center job remains undecided with two preseason games left before the Suns open the regular season.
