It will be the 35th NBA game in Mexico since 1992, when the league first ventured there.<\/p>\n<p>The game will be played at Arena CDMX during the week of D\u00eda de los Muertos celebrations. It marks the Nuggets\u2019 second trip to an international neutral site in three years. They played <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2024\/03\/06\/nba-games-abu-dhabi-nuggets-celtics-2024-info\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">two preseason games against the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirate<\/a>s, in place of a traditional training camp in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This excursion should be more convenient. The time in Mexico City will be only one hour ahead of Denver\u2019s local time, and if the Nuggets are flying there after a home game, the trip will be shorter than some NBA teams\u2019 trips within the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers expect to have Tyrese Haliburton back from a torn Achilles tendon by the start of next season, when they\u2019ll be eyeing another deep playoff run after coming within one win of the championship in 2025. They acquired center Ivica Zubac at the trade deadline this February, and they\u2019ll keep their lottery pick in the upcoming draft if it stays in the top four. Earlier this year, Indiana took on the San Antonio Spurs in Paris as part of the NBA\u2019s international series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.denverpost.com\/dp\/preference\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Want more Nuggets news?
