The latest rumors regarding the Phoenix Suns ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline suggest that the team is interested in acquiring Luke Kennard — who was enjoying a breakout season before suffering a knee injury in late December — from the Detroit Pistons.
In a report published on Monday, ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski wrote that the Pistons appear to have a mutual interest in the purported deal, as the team is hoping to acquire a future first-round pick from the Suns — specifically, their selection in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft, if everything goes as planned. Per Wojnarowski’s unnamed league sources, talks between both sides have “gained traction,” though no agreements have officially been made. These discussions are reportedly expected to continue at some point on Tuesday.
