For a second straight year, Utah has looked to Australia for its preseason opponents, hosting the National Basketball League’s Perth Wildcats on Sept. 29 and the Adelaide 36ers on Oct. 5 at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Last season, the Jazz played host to the Sydney Kings, the first NBL team to play an NBA team in the United States.
The Jazz, of course, have a strong connection to down under, with Aussie natives Joe Ingles and Dante Exum both on the roster and mainstays in the rotation.
The Australian teams the Jazz will face are two of the best franchises in the NBL.
