The NBA announced today that several teams have been selected to participate in an annual European preseason tour, including the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers will play two games overseas, making a stop in Bilbao, Spain on October 6th to face Uxue Bilbao Basket, and concluding in London on October 8th to face the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“Providing fans with an authentic NBA experience is an important part of our efforts to grow the game globally,” said NBA Commissioner David Stern.  “This fall, nearly a third of our teams will embark on a global tour that will celebrate the game of basketball, give our international fans a chance to connect with NBA teams and players, and leave a lasting impact in each of the communities we visit.”
