Possible date for Philly/Baltimore summer-league game at Palestra

 

A brief update on the possibility of an awesome Philly/Baltimore NBA superstar exhibition game at the Palestra: according to one ESPN NBA beat writer, the date and location are set:

But don't clear your schedules quite yet. I just spoke with Penn's Director of Athletic Communications Mike Mahoney, and he did not confirm such a date, saying if the event were to happen at Penn's venue, there are still a lot of details to be worked out.

"There's definitely interest on Penn's part," Mahoney said. "We'd be crazy not to try to get an event like this in the Palestra."

And the game's host, Philly native and Suns forward Hakim Warrick, tweeted that nothing was set yet either:

ESPN first broke the story that Warrick wants to host a Philly/Baltimore summer-league matchup in the area, quoting Warrick as saying the Palestra would be his first choice for venue. The event would be star studded, potentially attracting the likes of NBA scoring champ Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony, and could be an excellent opportunity to showcase Penn and it's basketball program to a larger audience.
