Tickets have gone on sale for the first regular-season NBA games in Europe.

The New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors will play a pair of games at the O2 Arena in London on March 4-5. The NBA is planning a week of activities across Britain, including basketball clinics and 3-on-3 competitions.

Nets guard Devin Harris says ''everyone involved in bringing the games to London is excited about playing in one of the world's great cities.''

The NBA has been playing preseason games in London for several years. The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 4 in this year's installment of the league's European tour.
