Labaron Philon Jr. Picks Double Zero | Philadelphia 76ers News

Labaron Philon Jr., the 22nd pick in the NBA draft, is making his mark with the Philadelphia 76ers in a bold new jersey: double zero. After rocking numbers like 11 in high school and 1 at Link Academy — both taken at Alabama, where he wore 0 for two seasons — he’s now joining Tyrese Maxey in the NBA’s number zero club… by doubling it. He’s the ninth Sixer to wear 00 and the first since Reggie Jackson. With a standout college season averaging 22 points and 5 assists while shooting 39.9% from three, and strong Summer League performances including a 24-point game, Philon is poised to compete for minutes right away. It’s not just about stats — it’s about identity, legacy, and the small but meaningful choices rookies make as they step into the NBA.
