The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired guard Luke Kennard from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for guard Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Thursday.
Kennard is shooting a career-best 49.7% from 3-point range this season, giving the Lakers a sharpshooter on the wings for Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and LeBron James.
The Hawks land a veteran guard, create an $11 million trade exception, and pick up a draft asset.
Kennard, 29, is a career 44.2% shooter from 3-point range. He’s averaging 7.9 points in 46 games this season, his ninth in the NBA.
Vincent, 29, is averaging 4.8 points this season, his seventh in the league.
