Kent Hired as Blazers’ Play-By-Play Announcer for 2020-21 Season

Jordan Kent is set to continue in the play-by-play announcer role for the Trail Blazers next season. According to a report from The Oregonian’s Joe Freeman, the former Ducks standout was offered the job by the Blazers prior to the start of the 2020-21 season.

The team has hired Jordan Kent as its new television play-by-play announcer, the Oregonian/OregonLive has learned, replacing a future Hall of Famer with a local broadcaster on the rise.

Kent, who filled in for Kevin Calabro during the Blazers’ run in the Orlando-based bubble, will join Lamar Hurd to form a talented broadcast duo.
