Luka Doncic is going back to where he got his start — for one game. The NBA announced that Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks will play a preseason game in October against reigning EuroLeague champion Real Madrid in Spain.
The matchup marks the first preseason NBA game in Madrid since 2016, when Doncic and Real Madrid hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. Prior to the game in Spain, the Mavericks will play two preseason games against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 5 and 7 as part of The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2023.
“Bringing the live NBA experience directly to our passionate international fans is an important part of our year-round efforts to grow basketball and the NBA around the world,” NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Mark Tatum said in a release. “We’re excited for the Mavericks to play Real Madrid and look forward to engaging with fans from Spain and across Europe around this historic matchup.
Real Madrid Ambassador Felipe Reyes said facing an NBA team “is always special,” but that’s even more so with the “Real Madrid legend” Doncic coming to town. The Boston Celtics were the first NBA team to play in Spain, facing the then Yugoslavian Men’s National Team and Real Madrid in 1988.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
