BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Decision time is approaching for NBA players mulling moves overseas.
More than a month into the lockout that appears far from a resolution, Boston guard Rajon Rondo, Milwaukee forward Stephen Jackson and Oklahoma City stars Kevin Durant and James Harden mingled with kids Friday at a high school gym in southeast Texas, part of a camp hosted by Thunder forward Kendrick Perkins.
Training camps are due to open in the first week of October. Rondo and Jackson have set an Oct. 1 deadline for deciding if they’ll play in Europe or elsewhere, or wait out the labor impasse that threatens to wipe out games and possibly, the entire 2011-12 season.
The lockout began after the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement expired on June 30.
