Bellingham Slam News Release
Bellingham, WA. The ABA Bellingham Slam professional basketball team announced a change to one of their dates for the free agent tryout camp upcoming next month.
The Slam will now be utilizing two NBA facilities for their tryout camps. The site of the first camp has been changed to the Seattle Supersonics practice facility, the Furtado Center, on Saturday, June 11th. The second tryout camp remains the same taking place at The Basketball Centre, the Vancouver Grizzlies former practice site, in Richmond, British Columbia on Sunday, July 17th.
