Meanwhile, multi-time All-Stars Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. will banner the Grizzlies in their first-ever games in Berlin and London.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Zach Edey, Jaylen Wells, and Cedric Coward are also expected to beef up a Memphis squad aiming to rebound from their early playoff exit last season.
The London game will be the league’s 19th overall in the UK and 10th regular-season matchup in the city.
Looking ahead, the Manchester game will mark the NBA’s first regular-season game in the city, following a preseason game there in 2013.
Meanwhile, the 2027 Paris game will be the sixth regular-season contest in the French capital, further solidifying the league’s enduring presence and tradition of bringing top-tier basketball to France.
