The 76ers will hit the road for training camp in preparation for the NBA season.

The team announced it will travel to Charleston, S.C., and tune up for 2022-23 at The Citadel. Once there, they will take the court at the military college’s McAlister Field House and bring together their new-look roster for the first time. This is a new approach for the Sixers, who held last year’s camp at their practice facility in Camden.

The Sixers will conduct camp at The Citadel from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2, with the start of preseason and the regular season soon to follow. Their first preseason game is Oct. 3 against the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center. Three other preseason contests will follow before the Sixers kick off the season Oct. 18 on the road against the Boston Celtics in a nationally televised game.

This will be an important period for the Sixers as they bring free-agent acquisitions P.J. Tucker and Danuel House into the fold and continue to integrate James Harden, who was acquired at last season’s trade deadline.

The Sixers enter the season with high expectations as they get another shot to capitalize on Joel Embiid’s prime coinciding with a developing Tyrese Maxey. The NBA clearly views this as a big season for the Sixers as it placed them in marquee matchups on both opening day and Christmas Day. In all, the Sixers will play 34 games on either ABC, ESPN, TNT, or NBATV this season.
