The NBA is looking to expand its reach internationally and looks set to host a pre-season game in Dubai, according to ESPN NBA reporter, Tim MacMahon.<\/p>\n

MacMahon tweeted that sources state that the NBA will likely do a tour of two preseason games in Japan, and one in both Dubai and somewhere in India.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that the Sacramento Kings, owned by Indian-American, Vivek Ranadive, would likely be part of the games.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Pacers are also rumoured to be lined up for the Dubai visit.<\/p>\n

Sources: The NBA will expand its international reach next year to include preseason games in Japan (two cities) and a Dubai\/India trip in addition to the China trip. Vivek Ranadive’s Kings will likely be one of the teams that go to Dubai and India.<\/p>\n
