There was bad news, mixed in with some good news, on Friday for a pair of former Utah County high school basketball stars.
Former Lone Peak High guard Frank Jackson made his pro debut during the MGM Resort NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, scoring 13 first-half points and adding six rebounds in the New Orleans Pelicans’ 90-77 win over the Toronto Raptors before leaving the game with a left ankle injury in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, just hours before the Dallas Mavericks were to open summer league play against Phoenix, former Provo High and BYU star Kyle Collinsworth was waived by the Mavericks, according to the NBA transaction list.
