Everyone's eyes will be on this game, and hopefully the Mavs can come out on top.

Mavericks announce intriguing overseas preseason opponent

Although waiting until October 25 is going to be hard, the Mavs have a few preseason games scheduled. The first two games are against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi, and the third game was just announced today.

This game will mean everything for Luka Doncic, and this is going to be a game that you won't want to miss.

On August 30, the Mavericks announced that they would be playing against Real Madrid in a preseason game on October 10. This is something that was rumored to be happening, and the Mavs put the rumors to rest as the game is finally official.

This is Doncic's first game against Real Madrid, and this will be a special game for him as that is the place that he grew up playing. He played for Real Madrid as a teenager, and the Mavs liked what they saw and ended up drafting him with the No. 3 pick in 2018.

Fans were waiting for a third preseason game to be announced, as it was unusual that only two were on the schedule, and now everyone knows who Dallas' opponent will be.

This could be an emotional day for Doncic, as he gave that team so much and learned so much there, and you won't want to miss this early October NBA action.

We'll have you covered with all the latest news and rumors surrounding Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks this offseason, so stay tuned.
