With the offseason continuing to dwindle down as the calendar is now turned to August, now is the time for players to really begin getting some final work in and whatever relaxation days they want to use. The real work will begin at the end of September when training camp begins.
For Philadelphia 76ers rookie Labaron Philon Jr., the No. 22 overall pick is using his final offseason days to play in some pickup runs with fellow rookie, Yaxel Lendeborg of the Golden State Warriors.
Philon and Lendeborg were filmed playing in some pickup runs in Pennsauken, NJ. Lendeborg went to Pennsauken High School before heading off to college. Lendeborg's Michigan Wolverines knocked off Philon's Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sweet 16 by a score of 90-77. Philon did score 35 points in the matchup.
While Philon waited to hear his name called until No. 22 with the Sixers, Lendeborg was selected by the Warriors at No. 11. It will be interesting to see when the first real NBA matchup between the two will be when the league releases the schedule.

PENNSAUKEN — On the precipice of the end of her high school career, Monica Curry was feeling a little nostalgic. Curry had joined Vernon's outdoor track and field team two years ago, mainly to stay in shape for soccer. And there she was at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions on June 3, part of the new Sussex County record 4x100.
It is the third time the Vernon girls had re-set the mark, twice in just five days. The Vikings – sophomore Samantha Janus, freshman Isabella Kuzicki, Curry and senior Sophia Haw – finished fifth in 47.33 seconds.
The original mark of 48.41 had stood since 2013.
"It's really exciting," said Curry, a record-setting Vernon senior who has signed a National Letter of Intent with the University of Massachusetts for soccer.
"All season, we improved. We started in the 50s. To get to the low 47s is amazing. We exceeded everything we planned."
