India's Harsimran Kaur has been invited to participate in a multi-week training camp at The NBA Global Academy at Basketball Australia's Centre of Excellence in Canberra, Australia.
The training camp started on Monday and will end on March 3.
This will be her second stint at the NBA Global Academy after attending a camp from November 7 to 24 last year.
"I am thrilled to go back to The NBA Global Academy in what will be yet another opportunity for me to sharpen my skills further," said Harsimran.
"My first camp in November 2019 gave me a lot of insight on various aspects of my game and how I can improve. I expect this camp to help me find a clear pathway to make it to professional ranks."
The 16-year-old will travel to Canberra from Chicago after attending the sixth annual Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Global Camp, which was held from February 14 to February 16 at Quest Multisport as part of the NBA All-Star 2020.
During her time in Canberra, Harsimran will participate in practices, three-on-three scrimmages and weight training sessions alongside top Australian prospects and under the guidance of coaches from the NBA Academy and Basketball Australia's Centre of Excellence.
