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 and Labrador; 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] There was also no series in 2020 and 2021 due to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Canadian government that made it impossible for teams to cross the Canada–United States border.
