Nets, Suns set to hold court in Macao
New partnership sees NBA make its long-awaited return to China
The NBA has hailed the return of its China Games as a testament to its consistent effort to grow its largest fan base, as the southern metropolis of Macao prepares to welcome a galaxy of stars next year.
The NBA, and its new partner Sands China Ltd, announced on Friday that the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns will play two preseason games on Oct 10 and 12 next year at Macao's Venetian Arena. It is part of a multiyear collaboration between the world's top basketball league and the city's major resort operator.
The NBA and Sands will also conduct interactive fan activities, NBA Cares community outreach initiatives, and host lifestyle events that will bring the NBA experience to fans in Macao throughout the year, including an NBA Fan Day during the week of the games, which will feature celebrity performances and skill challenges.
