Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors to feature in NBA London game

The NBA has announced that the next instalment of the Global Games in London will feature the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors.

The two teams will play a regular-season game at The O2 on January 14, 2016.

Both sides will return to London after the Raptors played back-to-back matches in the English capital in 2011, while the Magic travelled for a pair of pre-season games over 20 years ago.

"I remember playing in London with the Magic in 1993 and I am sure our current players will relish this unique opportunity," Magic coach Scott Skiles said in a statement.

Last year more than 15,000 fans turned out to watch the Milwaukee Bucks beat the New York Knicks.
