CHARLESTON — It’s not every day you see an entire NBA team rolling into town, but the Boston Celtics just did, making a rare appearance over 200 miles from the nearest NBA hub. They’re here for preseason training camp, setting up shop at The Citadel’s McAlister Field House, a spot known for its top-notch facilities that can host three full basketball courts under one roof. This marks the first time in almost a decade that the Celtics are taking their camp on the road, a move head coach Joe Mazzulla says is all about shaking things up and bonding the team in a new environment. He’s a big fan of military leadership, so The Citadel’s vibe fits perfectly with their team-building goals. And they’re not alone; teams like the Charlotte Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers, and New York Knicks have all used the spot for their own preseason prep. The Celtics’ camp runs through Oct. 6, wrapping up a unique start to their season.
