76ers ‘seriously’ considering moving to site of former NJ prison
NY Post
The state of New Jersey is making another push to convince the 76ers to cross the Ben Franklin Bridge and call Camden their next home — the 76ers are taking the offer “seriously.”
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority made another pitch to Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment, the owners of the Sixers, showing that it is “committed to bringing the 76ers to Camden.”
The potential arena would be built on the site of the former Riverfront State Prison that sits near the Delaware River, north of the Ben Franklin Bridge.
The state envisions the project as a “mixed-use development.”
As part of the letter, which was first reported on by ROI-NJ and posted online by CBS New Philadelphia, the NJEDA wrote that the project could be eligible for up to $900 million in economic incentives.
The push comes as the 76ers have faced backlash over their proposed arena plan in the city of Philadelphia and as the team awaits a decision by the city council on the proposal, which could come this fall.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
