Winnipeg will play host to the National Basketball Association’s first-ever Canada Series this Fall.

Preseason NBA games will be played in Winnipeg and Montreal. MTS Centre will host Minnesota Timberwolves as they take on the Detroit Pistons on October 24.

The series marks the first time games are being held in Canada as part of the NBA’s international preseason schedule.

“We’re extremely excited to be a part of the first-ever NBA Canada Series,” said Timberwolves President Chris Wright. “The NBA’s outreach into Canada displays the league’s commitment to expand basketball in the country and further demonstrates that that is truly a global game. We look forward to our trip up north.”
