The NBA has just announced a new double confrontation between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi. It will be next October 5 and 7 to see Kyrie Irving Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards bicker in the Middle East. International relations are doing pretty well in the NBA.
We already know it but the Great League only confirms its desire to export itself from year to year. She has notably visited Europe several times in recent years: in London in 2019 and in Paris in 2020 and 2023. This year, she will return to the heart of the capital of the United Arab Emirates for two pre-season matches which may be worth the detour. : the Mavs against the Wolves!
The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2023 will feature the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves playing two preseason games, which will take place on Thursday, Oct. 5 and Saturday, Oct. 7 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

New opus of this partnership: Adam Silver had already brought back his show last year to the same date. A rather interesting poster since it opposed the Milwaukee Bucks of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Atlanta Hawks of Trae Young: the NBA knows how to please its fans. Beyond its membership of the orange ball, Abu Dhabi is also known for hosting many sporting events such as F1 or the famous WTA women’s tennis tournament. It is certainly for the sporting influence of the city – and its money – that Adam Silver perpetuates the association. Enough to invest in a rooftop and sunbathe for a few days for the boss of the League.
Barely gone that the NBA returns after a year in Abu Dhabi. The expansion strategy only seems to be beginning and this second consecutive year is not insignificant for the United Arab Emirates: a habit for the next few years? See you on October 5th and 7th to get some sunburn!
