Abu Dhabi will stage two NBA preseason games between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves in October.
The teams are scheduled to play Oct. 5 and Oct. 7 as part of the annual Abu Dhabi Games, which began in 2022 with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.
"Following the success of last year's games and events that welcomed fans from across the globe to Abu Dhabi, we're excited to return in the 2023 preseason with two great matchups between the Mavericks and Timberwolves and some of the best players in the world," said Ralph Rivera, managing director of NBA Middle East and Europe.
