LONDON, United Kingdom, January 23, 2026/ -- The National Basketball Association (NBA) (www.NBA.com) and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) announced an extension of their existing collaboration that will feature preseason NBA Global Games, expanded marketing activities, and the launch of an NBA Global Academy in the UAE capital. The long-term extension will also bring additional youth development and fan programming to Abu Dhabi and surrounding communities for years to come. NBA Global Academy, which will be based in Abu Dhabi and serve as the global hub for the league’s NBA Academy program, will be a year-round elite basketball development and academic program for top high-school-age student-athletes from the UAE, the Middle East and around the world. The academy will include elite development programming for up to 20 local boys, basketball development activities for local girls and residential programming for up to 24 male prospects from the rest of the world. “Extending our partnership with the NBA further strengthens Abu Dhabi’s position as the new home of basketball in the Middle East and reinforces our commitment to our youth, inspiring our community, diversifying the economy, and elevating the emirate’s standing as a global destination,” said HE Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of DCT Abu Dhabi. “The establishment of the NBA Global Academy in Abu Dhabi will open pathways for Emirati and UAE-based athletes, coaches and sports professionals to learn from the world’s best, while our long-term hosting of the NBA Global Games will inspire the next generation. Beyond bringing world-class sporting events to our capital, the NBA’s youth programs and grassroots initiatives encourage healthy, active lifestyles and connect our residents to the universal values of sport. This multiyear commitment reflects Abu Dhabi’s ambition to be a hub for culture, entertainment and excellence, for both our residents and visitors alike.” “Our collaboration with DCT Abu Dhabi has been instrumental in growing basketball participation and fandom in the UAE and across the Middle East,” said NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Mark Tatum. “We look forward to building on those efforts in the years to come, including through the launch of an NBA Global Academy that will help develop elite-level players from the region and around the world.” Additional details about future NBA preseason games in Abu Dhabi, including the schedule and participating teams, will be announced at a later date. The collaboration will see DCT Abu Dhabi, through its destination brand Experience Abu Dhabi, once again serve as the Official Tourism Destination Partner of the NBA in the Middle East, China and Europe while expanding the territories in the destination partnership to also include Africa, Asia Canada and Latin America. The extended collaboration between DCT Abu Dhabi and the NBA will also feature the expansion of youth development programming that has reached more than 20,000 boys and girls since 2022, including plans to expand from the four existing Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA leagues in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain Region to six leagues this fall and 12 leagues by 2028. Abu Dhabi will also host two annual basketball tournaments featuring top youth and elite players from around the world, starting with the 2025 NBA Academy Showcase in Abu Dhabi, which was held at the NYU Abu Dhabi campus from Sept. 25-27 and featured top high-school-age players from four elite basketball programs: NBA Academy Africa (Senegal), IMG Academy (U.S.), INSEP (France) and the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence. The NBA Academy program provides a holistic approach to player development and a predictable pathway to maximize their potential. The program emphasizes health and wellness, character development, and life skills and gives athletes the opportunity to learn the game from coaches with professional, collegiate and international experience. More than 150 NBA Academy student-athletes have represented their national teams at various levels, more than 100 have committed to or gone on to attend NCAA Division I schools in the U.S., and more than 40 have played, are playing, or have signed to play professionally, including 15 who have advanced to the NBA. The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 presented by ADQ featured two sold-out preseason games between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 2 and Oct. 4 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. The games were part of a multiyear collaboration between the NBA and DCT Abu Dhabi that features preseason NBA Global Games, the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Abu Dhabi League, a variety of interactive fan events featuring appearances by current and former NBA players, an NBA 2K League exhibition event and a series of Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA and NBA Cares clinics promoting health and wellness while teaching the fundamentals of the sport and instilling core values including teamwork, respect and sportsmanship. NBA games have aired in the UAE since the 1987-88 season. Eight NBA teams have played preseason games in Abu Dhabi since 2022.

MIAMI HEAT’S BAM ADEBAYO NAMED NBA CARES BOB LANIER COMMUNITY ASSIST AWARD WINNER FOR DECEMBER – Adebayo Recognized for Hosting Annual Toy Drive and Creating Unforgettable Experiences for Youth – NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2026 – The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) today announced Miami Heat center-forward Bam Adebayo as the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award winner for December. Adebayo is being recognized for his leadership in hosting his annual holiday toy drive and creating unforgettable experiences for underserved youth through his foundation. The NBA and the NBPA Foundation will donate $20,000 to the Edrice Adebayo Foundation in honor of his efforts. In December, Adebayo welcomed nearly 2,300 students from underserved communities to the Kaseya Center for his annual toy drive. Children enjoyed a holiday meal before participating in a game-style toy grab on the court, where they collected toys to take home. In total, more than 36,000 toys were distributed, with remaining gifts donated to local organizations across South Florida. Adebayo also created unforgettable experiences for youth beyond Miami. He flew in eight student-athletes from his hometown (Greensboro, NC) and their chaperones for an exclusive game-day weekend, rewarding their hard work and academic achievement. The trip included a cooking class, a panel with Heat players, a boat ride, and a courtside game complete with jerseys and a meet-and-greet with Adebayo. Additionally, his foundation surprised fans in arena with seat upgrades, reinforcing its mission to spread joy in meaningful ways. Further demonstrating his commitment, Adebayo organized a special outreach for five student-athletes facing significant hardships, flying them to Miami for a Heat game where they were recognized by Head Coach Erik Spoelstra and met with Heat President and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Pat Riley about what it takes to be successful. Each student received a Bam Care Package that included Air Jordan 1 Retros, full uniform outfits, and essential items. The experience inspired future aspirations, with several students expressing interest in careers in sports and media following the trip. “To me, the holidays have always been a special time of year that inspires us to give back and serve others,” said Adebayo. “It’s about spreading kindness during a season that can be difficult for a lot of people. We go big in December, but the mission of my foundation is bigger than one moment on the calendar — it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and making an impact year-round.” The NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award honors NBA legend and Hall of Famer Bob Lanier, an NBA League Office executive and NBA Cares Ambassador for more than 30 years. He had an enormous influence on the NBA family and young people globally, traveling the world to teach the values of the game and making a positive impact through his kindness and generosity. The legacy he built will continue to live on through the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award, which recognizes the next generation of players’ commitment to positively impacting their communities throughout the NBA season. Each NBA season has an offseason winner followed by seven monthly award winners. The offseason winner receives the Bob Lanier trophy, and each monthly winner receives the David Robinson trophy.
