The Phoenix Suns received an encouraging injury update on guard Luke Kennard ahead of their matchup with the Golden State Warriors, a development that could bring one of the league's most accurate perimeter threats back into the lineup.
According to Sports Illustrated's Suns coverage, the team is hoping to get back the NBA's top three-point shooter. Kennard had been listed as questionable ahead of the season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Arizona Sports 98.7, which signaled that his availability was uncertain at that point.
The latest news gives the Suns a more optimistic outlook as they prepare for a game against a Warriors team that is closely watched across the league. Kennard's shooting has long been central to Phoenix's offensive spacing, and his return would give head coach and staff more options in rotation and in the backcourt.
Further details on the nature of the injury and an official timetable for his return were not included in the available reporting. Fans and fantasy managers following the team are expected to monitor the Suns' final injury report before tip-off for confirmation of his status.
