Sao Paulo on NBA pre-season radar

Xinhua, August 9, 2015 Adjust font size:

Sao Paulo could be the second Brazilian city to host an NBA exhibition match later this year, local media reported on Saturday.

Palmeiras football club officials are in talks with promotion company AEG over a September or October fixture at their multi-purpose Allianz Parque arena, Lancenet reported.

"We are negotiating," AEG director Marcello Soares was quoted as saying. "One of the obstacles has been to find a date because we will have three shows at the arena in the NBA's pre-season period."

In April, the NBA announced that Orlando Magic would meet Flamengo on October 17 at Arena da Barra in Rio de Janeiro.

It will be the third consecutive year that Rio has hosted an NBA pre-season fixture. Endi
