Earlier this week, the The Philadelphia 76ers have announced their plans for the 2024 training camp period.
Once again, the team will travel to the Bahamas for training camp. With training camp just over a month away, the players are training all over the place.
For some, they spent time at the Sixers’ training facility in Camden, New Jersey.
The 76ers’ social media team recently unveiled some snapshots from this summer, giving a glimpse of the work put in by some Sixers, both new and old.

Andre Drummond returns to the 76ers after being out for just under three years. During the 2021-22 season, Drummond was eager to step into the role of Joel Embiid’s backup. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to do so until the end.
At the 2022 trade deadline, Drummond was traded to the Brooklyn Nets as part of the blockbuster trade that traded Ben Simmons and James Harden. After a 24-game run with the Nets, Drummond joined the Chicago Bulls on a two-year deal. He left Chicago for Philadelphia as a free agent. The big man is eager for a second stint with the Sixers.

Unsurprisingly, Tyrese Maxey graced the practice facility with his presence. While Maxey has been traveling extensively this summer, he recently made a stop in Camden. The former All-Star re-signed this offseason and is looking forward to his fifth season with the Sixers.
Rookie Jared McCain is also getting acquainted with his new home. After spending one season at Duke, McCain joins the 76ers as the No. 1 overall pick in 2024. While McCain hopes to compete for minutes in his first year, the rookie has a lot of work to do to prove to 76ers head coach Nick Nurse that he belongs in the rotation. Working out at the facility is a great way to stand out this summer.
