What happened
Luke Kennard exited Wednesday's preseason game against San Antonio after 14 minutes with what appeared to be a lower left knee injury. He had four points and three assists, and the issue came on a non-contact play as he drove left and went to the locker room.
The report says it was hard to tell whether the injury happened on the takeoff or landing, and the broadcaster noted the play did not look especially severe. Phoenix will keep monitoring Kennard before next Wednesday's regular season opener.
Kennard's availability matters because Phoenix is looking for reliable outside shooting, and a longer absence would leave the Suns thinner on the perimeter. His preseason role was already meaningful, so his status could affect how the rotation is arranged next week.
