Earlier this week, the Sixers released some pretty cool images of their new practice facility in Camden, New Jersey. According to NJ.com, the 125,000 square-foot facility will serve as a place for basketball and business operations. Today, the team practices at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Bala Cynwyd. Meanwhile, operations can be found at The Navy Yard in South Philadelphia.

“In designing the basketball operations facility we pulled inspiration from the most cutting-edge sports medicine, wellness, and recovery practices from leagues, teams, and sport disciplines across the world,” Sixers president and general manager Sam Hinkie said in a release by the team. “We challenged ourselves to create a 24/7 destination for our players’ physical and mental needs. Two full side-by-side training courts with 10 baskets to shoot on is the heart of the building. Amenities such as an exclusive, covered player’s entrance, a fully-stocked private restaurant, and a dedicated concierge will encourage year-round visits to the training facility, allowing our players to focus on the everyday training of their body and mind.” [CSNPhilly.com]
