The reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets will face the Boston Celtics in a pair of preseason games in Abu Dhabi this October, the league said on Wednesday.
The Nuggets, whose squad includes two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, and the Celtics, led by five-time All-Star Jayson Tatum, will meet on Oct. 4 and Oct. 6 in the third staging of the NBA Abu Dhabi Games.
Last June, Denver beat the Miami Heat to clinch their first NBA title in the team's 47-year history while Boston lost in the penultimate round of the playoffs.
