New York (AFP) - The NBA will bring a seventh regular-season game to London next January when the Denver Nuggets meet the Indiana Pacers at the O2 Arena, league officials announced Thursday.
US Olympian Paul George is set to lead the Pacers against Italy's Danilo Gallinari and the Nuggets on January 12. It will be the first time either team has played in Britain.
"We are thrilled to return for our seventh regular-season game in London," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. "With almost 25 percent of players in the NBA born outside of the United States, we are seeing firsthand the global growth of our game.
