In addition, the NBA and the BFI announced that from 27-29 May the same facility will host a development camp for top women prospects from throughout India as part of the NBA Academies Women’s Program. The league and the federation will identify 20-25 female players ages 17 and under to attend the camp. Both of the training camps will include a variety of NBA Cares and Junior NBA community outreach efforts.

A record 24 former BWB campers were on opening night rosters for the 2017-18 NBA season.
