The NBA Canada Series are a series of basketball games featuring National Basketball Association teams that are played in Canada.

History edit

The first official series started in 2012, although previous preseason games had been played in Canada outside of Toronto before. Specifically, in October 1990, the Indiana Pacers played three games against the Bullets and Rockets. These 3 games were played in St. John's, Newfoundland; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Kitchener, Ontario.[1] There was no series in 2017 due to the early start of the season.[2] Planning for the series was overseen by Dan MacKenzie, vice president and managing director NBA Canada.[3]
