As it was announced, Washington Wizards and New York Knicks will travel to London on 17th of January in order to play a regular-season game in the O2 Arena as a part of NBA London Game 2019:
“The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) announced today that the NBA London Game 2019 will feature a regular-season game between the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks at The O2 on Thursday, Jan. 17.”
The NBA London Game 2019 will mark the league’s ninth regular-season game in London and NBA commissioner Adam Silver compared it to an All-Star experience: “We’ve been playing regular-season match-ups in London for nearly a decade, and over that time the games and the surrounding festivities have grown into the equivalent of an NBA All-Star experience transported to Europe. Fans and partners from across the continent come to celebrate basketball and enjoy the excitement and experience of an NBA game.”
