After closing out Summer League in Las Vegas on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics have released their preseason schedule. In an offseason full of championship celebrations and Boston well-represented on the Olympic squad, the NBA season feels like it’s just around the corner.

On October 4th and 6th, the Celtics will play overseas in Abu Dhabi at Etihad Arena against the Denver Nuggets. The move to play in Abu Dhabi was first announced back in March, with the aim to further grow the game of basketball internationally. It’s a very fitting matchup to do so, with the last two NBA Champions set to square off with one of the biggest international stars at its center in Nikola Jokic.

After returning to the United States, the Boston Celtics will have back-to-backgames on October 12th and 13th against the new-and-improved Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors at TD Garden. Their final game to close out the NBA preseason will be on October 15th at Scotiabank Arena against the Toronto Raptors.

All of these games will be available for viewing on NBC Sports Boston, with tickets available for purchase here.
