The Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic will meet for two regular-season games in Europe this winter, the NBA announced Wednesday.
They will square off at the Uber Arena in Berlin on Jan. 15 and at The O2 in London on Jan. 18.
The game in Berlin will mark the first NBA regular-season game ever played in Germany. The contest in London will be the 10th regular-season contest in England's capital city.
The league also announced that regular-season games will be played in Manchester, England, and Paris in 2027, and in Berlin and Paris in 2028. Dates and participating teams will be announced at a later date.
'Announcing the next three season's regular-season games in Europe reflects the incredible momentum and appetite for NBA basketball in France, Germany, the UK and across the region,' said George Aivazoglou, the NBA's managing director for Europe and the Middle East.
'We look forward to welcoming the Grizzlies and the Magic to Berlin and London and to engaging fans, players and the local communities through the games and the surrounding events.'
The Grizzlies will be playing their fifth and six games in Europe and first in both Berlin and London. The Magic will be playing their fourth and fifth games in Europe, the first in Berlin and third in London.
'We appreciate the opportunity to represent the NBA and to represent the city of Memphis and state of Tennessee on an international stage in Berlin and London,' Grizzlies president Jason Wexler said. '... We are excited for fans worldwide to see the talents of the Memphis Grizzlies on full display.'
Current members of Orlando's roster include German brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner and German-born forward Tristan da Silva.
'To have the Orlando Magic and the NBA play a regular-season game in our hometown of Berlin means everything to us,' read a statement from the Wagner siblings. 'Growing up here, we dreamed of moments like this. It's a huge honor to represent Berlin and Germany and show how much the city and country love basketball. We hope we can inspire kids the way we were inspired watching games from afar.'
