Cleveland Cavaliers Set Location for 2025 Training Camp

“Returning to IMG Academy is a testament to the tremendous experience we had there last year,” said Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman. “The overall engagement, both at the Bradenton facility and throughout that community, was an invaluable part of our preseason preparations.

"Being on Florida’s Gulf Coast also provided an ideal backdrop for our team to focus, recharge, and come together in ways that are hard to replicate outside of Cleveland. We look forward to another great training camp at IMG Academy and immersing ourselves into the vibrant cultural scene that Sarasota offers.”

The Cavaliers will be tanned, rested, and ready to start the 2025-26 season

In the statement announcing their training camp schedule, the Cavaliers highlight the perks IMG Academy offers the team in preparation for the upcoming season.

IMG Academy's 600-acre campus in Bradenton, Florida, is renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities, including multiple basketball courts and comprehensive strength and conditioning resources. It also offers a holistic education model, integrating innovative on-campus and online experiences to prepare student-athletes for college and life.

“The return of the Cleveland Cavaliers for a second consecutive year is a powerful reflection of the trust top organizations place in IMG Academy,” said Mike Milliron, Chief Operating Officer at IMG Academy. “Our world-class campus provides the environment, expertise, staff, and resources that are a perfect fit for the Cavs, and we can’t wait to welcome them back to our one-of-one destination ahead of their NBA season.”

Before training at IMG Academy in 2024, the Cavaliers last held a remote training camp during the 2004-05 season at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio.
