The Lakers traded for shooter Luke Kennard from the Hawks to boost their three-point shooting.

The Los Angeles Lakers acquired sharpshooter Luke Kennard from the Atlanta Hawks, sending guard Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick to Atlanta. Kennard, 29, is shooting a league-best 49.7% from three-point range this season and averages 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 46 games. The trade addresses the Lakers’ need for perimeter shooting, as their team three-point percentage sits at 34.8%. Kennard, a career 44.2% three-point shooter, will join his fifth NBA team in nine seasons. Vincent, 29, averaged 4.8 points in 29 games this season. Both players are unrestricted free agents after the season.
