ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- It's a few minutes before tipoff in the first NBA game of any sort in the 2025-26 season and the basketball court inside Etihad Arena is overflowing with training camp-sized rosters of Knicks and 76ers players and officials. On the sideline, Patrick Ewing is shaking hands with a man from Beirut who is wearing a vintage No. 33 Knicks jersey.

I think me personally, I mean, that's what the preseason is for, to prepare and get ready. Training camp go through stuff, learn a new system. We have a new coach so every day we're learning and building and each day it's getting better and better. So I feel like it's getting better each day. I feel ready and when the season starts I think we'll all be ready to go.

Pakistan began their chase of 134 in near-perfect manner when openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman shared a 45-run partnership. Farhan, in particular, was the more belligerent of the two as he scored 24 runs off 15 balls before falling to the off-break bowling of Maheesh Theekshana in the sixth over. Zaman, who was hit on the head by a bouncer from Dushmantha Chameera in the first over, was not his usual quick-scoring self and followed Farhan two balls later.

The exhibition celebrates Korean art's rich history, including its transformation and politics, which Emiratis have yet to fully discover and appreciate.

'I spent a few days by myself in Abu Dhabi recently on my way back from South Africa and felt very comfortable walking around and travelling by myself.'

The process of collecting art started off with the idea that at one point in our time, we [knew we wanted] to tell a beautiful story of our universal love for culture and art.
