In the past summer, the Nuggets defeated Miami to win their 1st NBA championship in the organization’s 47-year history, while the Celtics were eliminated in the penultimate round of the postseason.
“We’re happy to bring 2 of the best franchises in the NBA to Abu Dhabi in Boston and Denver,” Mark Tatum, the league’s deputy commissioner, announced today.
“There is a huge interest in the country to our product and across the Middle East, and we think these matches, as well as our year-round grassroots development and support engagement efforts, will have an incredible impact on the growth of the NBA in the region.”
