MEXICO CITY -- The NBA is returning to Mexico City next season, with the Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons set to play a regular-season game there Nov. 1.
The Mavericks have the No. 1 pick in this month's draft and are expected to select Duke's Cooper Flagg. The Pistons made a huge improvement this season and reached the Eastern Conference playoffs.
It will be the NBA's 34th game in Mexico since 1992.
"We take significant pride in the fact that the Mavericks organization and our supporters reflect the increased globalization of basketball and the NBA," Mavericks CEO Rick Welts said.
