The Bulls and Jazz will square off in London on Oct. 6 at the O2 Arena as the NBA heads to Europe for a preseason tour for the fourth straight year.

Chicago features forward Luol Deng, who grew up in London after his family fled Sudan.

"It has always been my dream to play for the Bulls in London," Deng said Wednesday in a statement. "They were the team I supported as a kid growing up and I am looking forward to playing in front of my hometown family and friends."

The Bulls, who also have British player Ben Gordon on the roster, haven't played in Europe since 1997.
