The Los Angeles Lakers’ general manager said on Feb. 8, 2026, that guard Luke Kennard “might be the missing piece” the franchise needs for its late-season drive.
Speaking as the regular season enters its closing stretch, the executive indicated the front office is evaluating ways to add Kennard to a roster aiming for another championship run. He cited Kennard’s skill set as a potential boost but did not detail any ongoing negotiations.
No timetable was provided for a possible move, and the club offered no further comment on how it might pursue the 2026 addition.
