It was just 56 seconds for him last Saturday in their match against newcomers Super City Waitakere Rangers in Napier.
Enough said but former Tall Black Kenny's input in previous NBL games has also added to scant minutes this season.
Before anyone starts cussing the bloke consider he's coming off two bouts of influenza and - if that wasn't frustrating enough - he sprained his ankle at Pettigrew-Green Arena, Taradale, last Saturday night.
"I didn't do much. I dribbled the ball about five times, passed it, then jumped up to receive it and landed on someone's leg awkwardly to twist my right ankle," the 26-year-old reveals before the Tab Baldwin-coached Hawks reload against the Aik Ho-coached Rangers in Auckland tomorrow for a 3pm tip off.
Anger eclipsed the frustration of overcoming the bot because he felt great going into the previous match which the Paora Winitana-captained Hawks won 118-73.
For all sense and purpose, Kenny won't be playing tomorrow. He can if he's required to but common sense suggests otherwise.
"I could play on Sunday but I'll be off the following week on Tuesday and Thursday on training nights," he says wisely because the following week the Hawks will play a double-header in the South Island against NBL pace setters Otago Nuggets on Friday night and the Paul Henare-coached Southland Sharks on Saturday night.
Tomorrow's game against the Houston O'Riley-captained Rangers will also be a scrimmaging session against a youthful hosts.
Again, Kenny is adept in body language because he graduated three years ago with physiotherapy qualifications so he'll be the first to attest to the fact that he may have a distinct advantage over those who haven't.
"I just haven't been practising it [physiotherapy]."
When his body speaks volumes Kenny tunes in to the wavelength instantaneously because "you have to, it's your livelihood".
"I can tell what it's saying but then sometimes I just carrying on playing."
For the record, any Chinese whispers out there that he is harbouring back ailments of yesteryear are just that - unsubstantiated rumours.
Yes, chronic back problems had laid him back and stymied his budding international career but Kenny says team manager Nigel Prior's acupuncturing prowess and the nimble fingers, therapy of team physiotherapist Tony Snell and GP consultations had put him back into peak fitness after a series of strengthening exercises in the gym.
"There's nothing wrong with the back. That's all sorted so I'm playing normally with strengthening and conditioning."
The persistent bouts of influenza did confine him to the bed for 10 days, robbing him also of the opportunity of helping out his good friend, John Ferguson, whose farming property is adjacent to the Hawke's Bay Airport in Eskview.
Last year Kenny enjoyed playing in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Venezuela, albeit for 15-20 minutes, but he's as passionate as he's ever been to make it back into the Tall Black squad. While he isn't likely to play tomorrow, Baldwin will take Kenny with him to Auckland where the player will relish catching up with his former Northcote Primary School (Auckland) coach, Ho.
"He [Ho] was awesome and an exciting person but we were young so he taught us some basic skills," he says of the Waitakere coach, sporting a nose piercing and earrings, who is a former Tall Ferns assistant coach and age-group coach.
For Baldwin it's "kind of very good" to be playing the Rangers back to back to help build the Hawks' confidence as they adapt to his northern hemisphere-style up-tempo and pressure type of game although the Hawks have had two wins (over Waitakere and the Sharks) from five outings.
Not only will it do that but it'll also instil self-belief in his men to win on the road.
"It's not an issue of how we start but a case of putting a better 40-minute performance every time."
It's imperative, he feels, for the Hawks to recognise the dull patches before lifting themselves out of the quagmire with a modicum of assertiveness.
Veteran Aidan Daly will again step up to assume the mantle of point guard though Baldwin will argue his matrix doesn't have little generals as such.
