The team will host the Utah Jazz on Oct. 2 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, and then the Boston Celtics, Oct. 14 at MontrealB次元官网网址檚 Bell Centre as part of the eighth NBA Canada Series.

But Greater Victoria fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes may be disappointed, as all local sessions are closed to the public. Word has yet to trickle down from the team or UVic as to whether public-facing events will happen in or around CARSA during camp.
