- High ticket prices for the event have drawn criticism from fans.
Oscar-nominated actress Rosamund Pike recently attended the NBA's London Game 2026, enjoying a rare public outing with her youngest son, Atom. The game, which saw the Memphis Grizzlies compete against the Orlando Magic at the O2 Arena, provided a platform for the star to showcase her maternal side. Pike was photographed alongside Atom, both appearing to relish the courtside experience amidst a crowd of fellow celebrities.
The NBA's presence in London continues to expand, with this event marking the league's tenth visit to Britain. While the league commissioner, Adam Silver, expresses a vision for 'NBA Europe' and potential expansion including London and Manchester teams by 2027, the high cost of tickets, ranging from £200 to £1,000, has become a significant point of contention among fans, who feel priced out of experiencing the premium product.
This NBA game coincided with discussions about the sport's growing popularity in Europe and potential investment. Officials have met with UK government representatives to discuss grassroots development. Despite concerns over ticket prices, the potential for a European league, featuring British teams, signals a significant future for basketball in the UK and across the continent.
