The NBA Returns to Beijing in October with Houston Versus New Orleans
The Houston Rockets will return to Beijing for a fourth visit to China to play the New Orleans Pelicans on October 12, as part of the NBA's annual Global Games.
Yao Ming's former team will take on New Orleans at The LeSports Center (formerly Mastercard Center, formerly Wukesong Arena), after first visiting Shanghai on October 9.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first Global Games event, when Yao returned to Shanghai, his hometown, with the Rockets
The Rockets' roster currently features four-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist James Harden, eight-time NBA All-Star and three-time Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard, and 2009 NBA Champion Trevor Ariza.

I wonder if the Houston Rockets will don the uniforms they wore during CNY, if so, will the New Orleans Pelicans also decide to have Chinese characters (specifically, "鹈鹕") emblazoned on their jerseys?
