The Celtics will take part in the upcoming preseason edition of the NBA Global Games when they travel to Italy to take on Olimpia Milano on October 6. The game will be one of at least two international matchups for Boston in 2015-16, as they will play a regular season game against the Sacramento Kings in Mexico City on December 3. Another preseason game against recently crowned Euroleague champion Real Madrid is reportedly in the works as well, but has not been officially confirmed.
Olimpia has won a record 26 Lega Basket Serie A championships, including the most recent one, and three Euroleague titles.
