The NBA’s French connection continues to grow.
The league announced Wednesday that the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers will play in Paris on Jan. 11, the third regular-season game held at Accor Arena. In January, the Chicago Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons in Paris, which is hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The Nets-Cavs matchup comes on the heels of France’s Victor Wembanyama being selected with the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft by the San Antonio Spurs.
This will be the Nets’ second game in Paris after playing a preseason game in the French capital in 2008. The Cavaliers have never played in Europe.
Cleveland won the Summer League title in Las Vegas earlier this week.
