The Denver Nuggets and the Indiana Pacers will meet in the NBA's next regular-season foray to London on Jan. 12, 2017, the league announced Thursday. The contest will be considered a home game for the Nuggets.
The latest installation in the NBA Global Games series will be the seventh played in the British capital. Last season, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Orlando Magic at O2 Arena.
"With almost 25 percent of players in the NBA born outside of the United States, we are seeing firsthand the global growth of our game, which has never been more popular in the U.K.," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.
