Print Edition
THREE NBA teams will host opponents from Australia’s National Basketball League for preseason games in October. The Utah Jazz, who feature Australians Joe Ingles and Dante Exum, will host the Sydney Kings on October 2.
Ingles was chosen NBL rookie of the year after playing with the Melbourne South Dragons in 2006-07. Exum was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Melbourne United on October 8, and the Phoenix Suns welcome the Brisbane Bullets on October 13. This will be the first time NBL teams travel to the US to play NBA teams. The NBA said on Monday that there were a record-tying eight Australian players on last season’s opening-night NBA rosters.
