For the seventh time in NBA history, the league will be playing a regular season game in London, England, and this time it will be the Denver Nuggets facing off against the Indiana Pacers.

About time, right?
The Nuggets are just about the most-international franchise in basketball, with nine players on their roster, including their 2016 draft picks, who were born outside the United States.
“It will be a true honor and a great experience to represent both the Nuggets and the NBA in London as part of the NBA Global Games in 2017,” Danilo Gallinari said. “Our entire team and organization are looking forward to this opportunity to showcase our league to fans overseas.”
Tickets will go on sale at the beginning of the 2016-17 season, so if you’re looking to make a trip to Europe in early 2017, make sure you swing through London long enough to catch Denver take on Paul George and the Indiana Pacers.
