Celtics and Nuggets will square off in two preseason games in Abu Dhabi in 2024

Later this year, the Boston Celtics will expand internationally.

As part of the 2024 NBA Abu Dhabi Games, the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets will square off in two 2024 preseason games in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, on October 4 and October 6.The NBA Abu Dhabi Games, which got its start in 2022 as a result of a multi-year collaboration between the NBA and Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, will see the Celtics take on the Nuggets in Abu Dhabi.

Guard Jrue Holiday of the Boston Celtics took part in the 2022 Abu Dhabi Games when his Milwaukee Bucks faced the Atlanta Hawks in two preseason games. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks were the teams that played each other last year.These preseason games have modest stakes, but there should be a lot of excitement surrounding the Celtics vs. Nuggets matchup, which may end up being a 2024 NBA Finals rematch. Right now, the favorites to win their respective conferences and play each other in the June Finals are the Celtics and Nuggets.

Although the NBA has regularly held preseason games abroad since 1991 (the Celtics hosted games in Rome and London in 2007–08), the 2022 contests in Abu Dhabi marked the league’s first trips to the Middle East.
