According to Ryan Feldman of CSN Philly, Lavoy Allen, former Temple star and the Sixers second round selection in this June's draft, has signed a contract with Strasbourg Illkirch Graffenstaden Basket, or SIG, in France. The contract includes an opt-out clause if and when the NBA settles its lockout. The clause is set to expire in January, by which time the NBA must have resolved the lockout to salvage the 2011-2012 season.
While Allen is not forced to opt-out if the NBA resolves its labor dispute, he has said he will, despite not having a guaranteed contract with the Sixers as of now.
