Strickland to Miss U18 Trials
Posted on Jun 29, 2008 8:21 am
Dexter Strickland had looked forward to a busy summer schedule in which he would try out for the U.S. U18 team that will head to Formosa, Argentina next month.
But now Strickland, a 6-foot-3 rising senior from St. Patrick of Elizabeth who committed to North Carolina, will miss the trials with a pulled hamstring.
“I have to sit out for up to four weeks,” Strickland said in a text message.
Lance Stephenson of Brooklyn Lincoln, Dominic Cheek off St. Anthony of Jersey City, UConn-bound Kemba Walker of Rice and Virginia commit Sylven Landesberg of Queens Holy Cross will still attend the trials in Washington, D.C. July 1-3. Cheek, who dislocated a finger at the NBA Top 100 Camp, was also on Seton Hall’s campus for an unofficial on Friday.
