Phoenix Suns guard Luke Kennard had to bail from Wednesday’s preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs after a seriously awkward landing. It went down midway through the second quarter in San Antonio, and man, it wasn’t pretty.
A Seriously Sketchy Landing
The dude was going for a contested floater and just landed all wrong. You could see it, he stayed bent over on that end of the court, leaving the Suns a man down defensively. As soon as there was a break in play, Kennard headed straight to the locker room with 6:43 left in the first half.
The Suns Lose Their New Sniper
When Kennard checked out, the Suns were already trailing the Spurs 34-32. This is Luke Kennard we’re talking about, one of the NBA’s absolute top 3-point shooters, a guy they just signed in the offseason! His early exit is a total gut punch. What does this mean for Phoenix’s preseason run? Right now, we just know he’s out. Fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious, but watching one of your key offseason pickups go down like that, especially when you’re already behind, that’s not how you want things to kick off.
