Hornets, Bucks to play in Paris in 2020. MORE:
The game will be on Jan. 24. Paris has played host to preseason games before, and the league hinted several times in recent months that it was considering bringing a game that counts to the city as well. And having Charlotte involved makes perfect sense, given that the Hornets feature"Having played in the preseason in France during my career, I witnessed first-hand the passion the French fans have for NBA basketball," Hornets chairman Michael Jordan said.
The Hornets played a preseason game in Paris in 1994. The Bucks will be going to France for the first time. "Playing in one of the great cities in Europe continues our goal to extend the global brand of the Bucks," Milwaukee co-owner Wes Edens said."We will be proud to represent Milwaukee and Wisconsin in Paris and we thank the NBA for this exciting opportunity.""The return of an NBA game in Paris, after a 10-year absence, is a real victory for our city," Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said.
