A memorable February so far for former Franklin High School standout Luke Kennard is about to get even better.
Kennard, a Los Angeles Clippers guard who had his No. 10 jersey retired last week at Franklin, will participate in the 3-point contest as part of the 2022 All-Star Saturday Night festivities Feb. 19 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, per an announcement Tuesday from the Clippers.
Kennard, 25, is averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 42.8 percent from 3-point range this season. He'll be part of an eight-player field that includes Desmond Bane (Memphis Grizzlies), Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls), CJ McCollum (traded Tuesday by the Portland Trail Blazers to the New Orleans Pelicans), Patty Mills (Brooklyn Nets), Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves), Fred VanVleet (Toronto Raptors), and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks).
