Adam Silver hints at NBA regular-season game in Africa

Makes sense since the NBA is always trying to expand its brand globally.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says "stay tuned" for a regular-season game in Africa as Chris Paul and others prepare to play the league's first exhibition on the continent.
Silver didn't give an exact time frame but said Thursday in South Africa that a pre-season and, ultimately, a league game was the aim, with the NBA on a "fast track" to build its brand in soccer-crazy Africa.
