Kenon Reinstated by ABA to All-Star Fast Squad
New York Nets forward Larry Kenon, 6-foot-9 and 205 pounds, is restored to the ABA All-Star Fast squad for the January 28 game in San Antonio after commissioner Todd Munchak overturned a team-representation rule. Kenon, who ranked fourth among East forwards in media balloting, had been removed to ensure Memphis representation. Munchak said Kenon deserved to play and the league should not deprive a media-selected player of the honor.
