Event Notes: Tickets For January NBA Games In Mexico City Go On Sale

Tickets for NBA regular season games that will be held in Mexico City went on sale on Wednesday. The games include the Phoenix Suns vs. Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 12 and the Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs on Jan. 14. There will be two sales periods: from Wednesday-Oct. 1 -- with prices for both games starting at 400 pesos ($21.74) -- and from Oct. 1 until the games, with single-game tickets starting at 270 pesos ($14.67) (NBA).

England's U21 team moved its European Championship qualifier against Norway on Wednesday away from Chesterfield after the League One club signed Ched Evans this summer. The 27-year-old served two-and-a-half years of a five-year sentence for rape "but his conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal in April and he is now facing a retrial in Cardiff next month." The "proximity of the retrial date" with Wednesday's fixture reportedly "led to the decision" to switch the 5:45pm kickoff to the Weston Homes Community Stadium in Colchester, rather than Chesterfield’s Proact Stadium (London INDEPENDENT, 9/6).

After a "successful five-year run," Tennis Cambodia decided to drop the triple-leg $10,000 ITF Men’s Futures Series this year in favor of holding the country’s first ever Grade 5 ITF Junior Circuit event for boys and girls at the National Training Center, from Oct. 24-29. While sponsor support for the Futures "had been quite steady over the last five years, Tennis Cambodia’s shift of focus from men’s to juniors is seen as more strategic" than driven by concerns over "waning sponsorship interests." Tennis Cambodia Secretary General Tep Rithivit said, "It is time for the reassessment of our priorities in terms of the game’s growth. The time has come to harness our young talent" (PHNOM PENH POST, 9/5).
