Camarillo High School to honor NBA star alumnus with jersey retirement
Camarillo High School will honor one of its most successful alumni when it retires the No. 24 jersey of Jaime Jaquez Jr. later this month.
Jaquez, who starred for the Scorpions before playing at UCLA and now the Miami Heat, will be in town for his squad’s matchups with the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 13 and Lakers on Jan. 15, bookending his Jan. 14 jersey retirement ceremony, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Jaquez, 23, finished his Bruins career as one of the 10 best in school history in points, steals and games played, and he helped lead the team to a Final Four berth in 2021.
He left school in 2023 and was a first-round draft pick for the Heat, for whom he’s averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game up to this point in the 2024-25 season, his second as a pro.
