Lakers, Knicks, T-Wolves to play preseason games in Europe

The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves will head to Europe in October for preseason games in four cities, it was announced Tuesday. It is the fifth consecutive year that the NBA has had a preseason game in Europe.  "NBA Europe Live and the return of NBA teams to Europe for a fifth consecutive year is a testament to our ongoing commitment to grow the game of basketball and engage our fans in the region," said NBA commissioner David Stern.

The four-game schedule begins on October 3 in Milan, Italy, where the Knicks will play Armani Jeans Milano at the Mediolanum Forum. AJ Milano is the former team of current New York forward Danilo Gallinari and Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni, who is Milano's all-time leading scorer.
