LONDON (AP) -The NBA is still planning to play a regular-season game in London before the 2012 Olympics are hosted by the British capital, although commissioner David Stern said Tuesday that no schedule has yet been set.
Stern has said that he wants to play a meaningful game at London’s O2 Arena, where the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz played a preseason game Tuesday.
Stern, noting that 2010 and 2011 would be the last chances, said: “We hope to do it. … We’re running out of runway.”
The NBA was playing in London for the third straight year, and the game at the O2 was again sold out. Although this year’s trip to Europe was cut down from previous visits, the Jazz still have one more game to play on Thursday against Real Madrid in the Spanish capital.
