The NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers announced on Monday that they will be holding their upcoming training camp at the luxurious Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. The camp is set to take place from Tuesday October 1 to Saturday October 5, offering the team a scenic and secluded environment to fine-tune their preparation for the upcoming National Basketball Association (NBA) season. Prior to heading to The Bahamas, the Sixers will host its media day on September 30 at their regular training complex in Camden, New Jersey.
This marks the third consecutive year that the Sixers have chosen to hold their training camp away from their regular training base, a strategy that Head Coach Nick Nurse believes is crucial for setting the tone for the season. Last year, the team gathered in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the year before that, they traveled to Charleston, South Carolina. Nurse, now entering his second season with the team, emphasizes the importance of maximizing the time during training camp to ensure the team is well-prepared for the rigors of the NBA season.
“I really put a lot of stock in training camp,” Nurse said during a press conference on July 23. “It’s the crux of your practice time, and we’ve normally come out of training camps fast. I would expect this to be no different.
We are going to be prepared to get every ounce of time to get our guys ready to go.” One of the key storylines heading into this year’s camp is the team’s connection to The Ba.
