Want to see what the Sixers' new practice facility will look like in Camden, New Jersey?
Now you can as the team on Tuesday released the first rendering of the complete exterior, along with live images of the construction progress.
The complex, which will be an NBA-largest 125,000 square feet, is estimated to be open for the players in the fourth quarter of this year, according to the Sixers.
“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.”

“Whether on the court or in the community, we continue to spend time and invest resources where we see big upside," Sixers CEO Scott O'Neil said. "It should come as no surprise then, that in our commitment to build the biggest and best training complex in the NBA, we chose a community on the rise, with dynamic, socially aware corporate partners. We are confident that Camden is the right place at the right time to build our new home."
