Last October, the Memphis Grizzlies squared off against Flamengo, a Brazilian club, in the preseason.
According to a report by Pedro Ivo Almeida and Fábio Balassiano from esporte.uol.com, one year later theWashington Wizards will take on Bauru, another Brazilian team.
A sample of their report is translated below:
“The parties also avoid talking openly about it, but negotiations are already at an advanced stage and the announcement will take place on Tuesday of next week (11/08), according to people close to the NBA heard by the report.
The calendar even is already set: Bauru come into court on 7 and 11 October to face New York Knicks and Washington Wizards.”
The Wizards have Nene, arguably the most notable Brazilian NBA player, on their roster. So it only makes sense for them to be one of the organizations associated with this report.
