NBA Mexico City Game Brings Nuggets and Pacers Together on November 7
The NBA Mexico City Game will bring Denver and Indiana to Arena CDMX on Saturday, November 7, for a regular-season matchup at 5 p.m. Eastern. NBA TV and NBA League Pass will carry the game in the United States, according to the league’s updated event guide.
The guide identifies the event as the NBA’s 35th game in Mexico since 1992, including 16 regular-season games. Mexico has hosted more NBA games than any country outside the United States and Canada, making this an established stop on the league’s international calendar.
The NBA’s original announcement set out a broader program around the game: youth and coaching development activities, NBA Cares initiatives and fan events. It also described a Día de Muertos theme for in-arena activations and a specially designed court, connecting the basketball showcase to the week’s local celebrations.
This is Denver’s second game in Mexico and Indiana’s Mexico City debut, according to that announcement. The matchup therefore combines a returning franchise with a new participant while giving local supporters a regular-season game that counts in the same standings as games played in either team’s home arena.
Nikola Jokić arrives after recording his 201st career triple-double Wednesday against Toronto. The Thursday guide lists 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in that win. Indiana, meanwhile, is expected to be without Tyrese Haliburton because of a hamstring injury, placing additional attention on Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard.
For fans following from Baltimore, the key planning detail is the 5 p.m. Eastern start, which is 4 p.m. in Mexico City. The event guide says regular game tickets and premium game packages are sold out. A separate hospitality event should not be mistaken for admission to the basketball game.
The setting supplies the international occasion; the matchup still requires both teams to produce on the floor. Check the league’s latest game information for any availability or scheduling changes before tipoff. Follow PowerPage Sports for more NBA coverage as the regular season continues.
