NEW YORK (AP) - The Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets will play a preseason game Oct. 8 at Taipei Arena.

It will be the NBA's first game in Taiwan, and Pacers president Larry Bird calls it a "great opportunity to promote our game and create new fans."

It also will be Indiana's first overseas game since the Pacers played Seattle in Germany and Spain in 1996.

The Taiwan game was announced today by the NBA.
