Since the 1970s, the NBA has made playing around the world a priority to expose the greatest players to as big an audience as possible, and to this day, the NBA has stayed true to that commitment.
On June 3, the NBA, in association with Euroleague Basketball and RCS Sports, announced that the Boston Celtics will challenge the Italian League Champions, Olimpia Milano, in Milan, Italy on October 6, representing the 2015 NBA Global Games in Europe.
Additionally, the Celtics are slated to play a rare regular season internationally, when they take on the Sacramento Kings in Mexico City on December 3.
