The NBA and the Abu Dhabi Division of Tradition and Tourism introduced that the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will play two video games in Abu Dhabi within the 2025 preseason. The groups will meet on October 2 and 4 at Etihad Area on Yas Island.
As a result of the Knicks and Sixers are touring overseas, they will be allowed to start out coaching camp roughly per week earlier than groups staying stateside for the preseason. That is the fourth consecutive 12 months that NBA groups will journey to Abu Dhabi. Beforehand, the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves made the journey to play within the Center East.
