The NBA has no plans to schedule games in the Middle East while war continues in the region, league sources told ESPN.
According to those familiar with the matter, discussions about bringing either exhibition or regular-season contests to Middle Eastern markets have been suspended indefinitely because of safety concerns stemming from the ongoing conflict.
No timetable has been set for revisiting the idea, the sources added, and the league will focus on existing international commitments outside the affected area until conditions improve.
