The NBA is back in the UK and you can follow the action across all our Sky Sports platforms as the New York Knicks take on the Washington Wizards.

The annual trip to the capital, now in its ninth year and part of the NBA's Global Games Series, brings together two franchises aiming to get their seasons back on track after disappointing, but not unexpected campaigns to date.

However, that will not detract from the occasion which often brings out the best in the teams involved as well as giving the NBA's UK and European fanbase a chance to enjoy the sport at close quarters.

The NBA's London game always attracts celebrity fans from Premier League players to stars of TV, film and music - and this year Sky Sports will be there to ensure you don't miss a thing.

Keep an eye out for additional content too throughout the day on Sky Sports USA, featuring The Starters, a string of high profile interviews including Shaquille O'Neill and Larry Bird, a look back at memorable games and teams from the past and much, much more.

Our Game Changers team will also be in attendance for a special NBA episode, aimed at getting more young boys and girls into basketball.
