The NBA Paris games for the 2024 season have been set. This year, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be taking on the Brooklyn Nets at the Accor Arena.
While it will be played overseas, the NBA Paris games will be a regular season matchup for these squads. The game is scheduled to take place on January 11th.
In the NBA's press release on the event, Nets GM Sean Marks gave his thoughts on the team playing in France and sharing their brand of basketball on an international stage:
“We’re extremely excited to have the opportunity to compete in The NBA Paris Game 2024 and bring Nets basketball to an international stage. Our players and coaches will benefit greatly from the experience of immersing themselves in Paris’s rich culture off the court.”

Since this will be a game that count towards their records, both squads should have all their key players in the lineup. This means the Paris audience will get to see players like Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland for Cleveland and Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson for Brooklyn.
The Paris crowd will be in for a treat as this game features two of the more interesting squads in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland is looking to continue climbing up the ranks to contender while the Nets are in a new phase of the franchise following a pair of superstar trades last season.
