AUSTRALIA’S own Sydney Kings will take on the might of the NBA and the Utah Jazz in a pre-season game in Salt Lake City.
The Jazz have a strong Australian connection with point guard Dante Exum and small forward Joe Ingles both hailing from Melbourne.
“We are going to get ready the same way we would to play against any team,” Ingles told The Daily Telegraph.
“We play a team from Israel in our second game as well. We’ve only got five games and we need to use these games to get ready for our season.
“We are going to do the same against Sydney as we would in game one.
“Hopefully we can come out and play well.
“They are not coming over here for a holiday.”
We’ll have live updates all through the match and all the news leading up to tip-off at high noon.
ESPN will be broadcasting the game live and will also be live through the NBA League Pass.
