LONDON AND ABU DHABI — The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Department of Culture and Tourism — Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) today announced that The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 will feature the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers playing preseason games on Thursday, Oct. 2 and Saturday, Oct. 4 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island.

The Pistons could have had a real shot to tie the score late in the Knicks’ 118-116 Game 3 win Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena. Bickerstaff complained about a controversial non-call that would have given them that chance.

The Detroit Pistons ride a jolt of momentum back to their home arena on Thursday, when they are set to host Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs series.
