76ers reveal plans for new practice facility

The Philadelphia 76ers are planning on building a new practice facility, which would see them move out of their current home at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The 100,000-square foot complex is to be built in Camden, New Jersey, with the team hoping to break ground on construction in October while a completion date is expected in 2016.

"As part of our due diligence related to a new training center, we have officially filed an application for a site along the New Jersey waterfront in Camden," the Sixers said in a statement, according to the NBA's official website.

"We understand the New Jersey Economic Development Authority will be voting on an incentive for a possible facility on the waterfront at their upcoming meeting. We will have more to say on this matter after the EDA vote."

The new site is to be located along a waterfront, with the facility being created between the Camden Aquarium and the Susquehanna Bank Center.
