The Denver Nuggets will play a regular game next season in London as part of the NBA’s Global Game Series. This is terrific news for Nugget fans and Pacer fans, alike.

The Denver Nuggets will compete in London against the Indiana Pacers on January 12th. Denver will be the first Western Conference team to play in London.

This game will be part of the NBA Global series which highlighted games last season such as the Charlotte Hornets against the LA Clippers in China, the Sacramento Kings against the Boston Celtics in Mexico City, and the Orlando Magic against the Toronto Raptors in London. International publicity is obviously something that the NBA has been attempting to broadcast through these Global Games.

This competition will be the first time the Pacers or the Nuggets have competed overseas. This game will be held at the O2 Arena, according to ESPN. The Nuggets will be the home team in this matchup.

According to the Guardian, Nugget star Danilo Gallinari had this to say about the competition, “Our entire team and organisation are looking forward to this opportunity to showcase our league to fans overseas.”

Led by superstar small forward Paul George, the Indiana Pacers have had one of the NBA’s best offseason with the acquisitions of Thaddeus Young and Al Jefferson along with the trade for Jeff Teague.

The Nuggets, who may have one of the best young cores, have been receiving an array of national attention. The most recent was a Sports Illustrated piece on the evolution of Gary Harris. This young core has the potentially to become one of the best in the NBA, and the overseas experience should prove to benefit their youth.

Both teams will undoubtedly be excited for such a game.
