The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) announced the third NBA Africa Game, which will take place on Saturday, 04 August 2018 at Sun Arena at Time Square in Pretoria.

The 2018 NBA Africa Game will once again feature a Team Africa vs Team World format. Team Africa will be composed of players born in Africa or with direct family ties to the continent, and Team World will comprise players from the rest of the world.

“Hosting the NBA Africa Game for the third time in four years is a testament to our commitment to growing the game in Africa. We look forward to working with the NBPA once again and all our partners to bring the authentic NBA experience to our fans in South Africa and the rest of the continent. This game and the community events in the week leading up to it will further build on our efforts to use the transformative power of the game of basketball to foster positive social change,” said Fall.
