The NBA will return to Mexico City for its 34th game since 1992, featuring the Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons playing on November 1. The Mavericks are expected to draft Duke's Cooper Flagg as they hold the No. 1 pick. Mavericks CEO Rick Welts emphasized the importance of basketball's globalization while Pistons president Trajan Langdon noted the excitement of showcasing their team to an expanding international audience.
