This neutral ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Johni Broome during the 2025 NBA Abu Dhabi Games, when the Philadelphia 76ers played the New York Knicks.
On October, 2, 2025, Broome finished with 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. The 76ers lost to the Knicks, 99-84.
On October 4, 2025, Broome finished with 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 block. The 76ers lost to the Knicks, 113-104. The back of the jersey will include a special edition ‘NBA Global Games’ patch with the United Arab Emirates flag colors.
Johni Broome was drafted with the 35th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft out of Auburn. Broome is already generating excitement among Sixers fans, quickly proving himself as a polished and physically imposing interior presence. He has the tools to anchor both ends of the floor, combining steady post scoring with elite rim protection and relentless work on the glass. That blend of two-way impact makes him a remarkable addition to Philadelphia as a rookie.
Abu Dhabi Games
The 2025 NBA Abu Dhabi Games kick off a series of preseason NBA Global Games, with teams traveling to Canada and Macau in addition to Abu Dhabi. This season marks the fourth consecutive year the league has visited Abu Dhabi, where basketball continues to deepen its impact and strong relationship with the region. Recently, Team USA played two exhibition games in the UAE before going on to win a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in Paris. In 2023, Team USA also held an exhibition in Abu Dhabi ahead of the FIBA World Cup.
Interest in the NBA abroad has never been higher. The league’s increased focus on basketball’s global development has paid dividends—the last seven NBA MVP awards have been won by international players. With many of the league’s new stars hailing from outside the United States, the NBA has steadily expanded its global presence, staging more games overseas each year. Upcoming stops include Mexico City in November 2025, followed by London and Berlin in January 2026.
