The Warriors will play two preseason games against Minnesota in China next season as part of the NBA’s 2017 Global Games, according to multiple reports.
Chinese outlet Lanxiong Sports broke the news.
The exhibition games will be held in Shenzhen and Shanghai in October and will feature two teams with ties to China. Minnesota has the NBA’s first Chinese minority owner in Jiang Lizhang, the founder of Chinese marketing company Double-Edged Sports who purchased 5 percent of the Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx in summer 2016. Golden State played the Lakers in China during the 2013 Global Games.
