Here's a recap of how NBA All-Star Weekend played out.FEBRUARY 21, 2022
Loses in final round Saturday Kennard lost against Karl-Anthony Towns in the final round of the Three-Point Contest on Saturday.
Impact Kennard is widely known as one of the best shooters in the league and came close to winning this event, but Towns was more efficient in the final round and secured the victory. Kennard left his money ball rack at the end, but he missed the two three-point shots from deep and that came back to haunt him. Losing this event shouldn't take anything away from Kennard and his status as one of the best shooters in the league, though. He's hitting 44.8 percent of his treys this season.

Solid numbers in bench role Kennard (ankle) tallied 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes Tuesday in the Clippers' 103-96 loss to the Suns.
Impact Kennard turned in a serviceable line in his return from a one-game absence, but his addition only further muddles the Clippers' ever-changing wing and forward rotation. Even with Norman Powell (foot) out indefinitely, the minutes and production from the likes of Kennard, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum are likely to remain highly volatile from game to game.

Available Tuesday Kennard (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kennard returns from a one-game absence due to left ankle soreness. This month, he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 22.6 minutes.

Questionable for Tuesday's contest Kennard (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kennard missed his first game since Jan. 17 during the first half of the Clippers' back-to-back set Monday and is listed as questionable again for the second half. If he's unable to suit up, Brandon Boston, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood are all candidates for increased roles.

Won't go Monday Kennard (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against Golden State, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kennard will miss his first game since Jan. 17, this time due to a left ankle injury. Brandon Boston, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood could all see an uptick in minutes in Kennard's absence.

Questionable Monday Kennard is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to left ankle soreness, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Kennard has had a limited impact in each of the last four matchups, as he's averaged 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per game during that time. If he's unavailable Monday, Brandon Boston, Amir Coffey and Rodney Hood should see additional playing time.

Quiet in 19 minutes Kennard accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Saturday's 99-97 win over the Mavericks.
Impact At the end of January, Kennard had strung together six straight impressive games, but he's since fallen off a cliff and is no longer an appealing wavier-wire add. With Norman Powell (toe) sidelined Saturday, it's not a great sign that Kennard saw only 19 minutes, though he did pick up four personals. Either way, when Powell is healthy, Kennard should remain in a relatively reduced role.
