The NBA has confirmed its lineup for NBA House Macao 2026, a free fan event running 7 to 11 October at the Venetian, featuring 10 NBA legends and Chinese basketball star Ding Yanyuhang.
Ray Allen, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Jeremy Lin, Stephon Marbury, Shawn Marion, Cuttino Mobley, Mitch Richmond, Luis Scola and P.J. Tucker will headline alongside Ding, who played for the Mavericks’ 2017 NBA Summer League team.
Marion, who won the 2011 NBA championship, the Mavericks’ first ever title, during his time in Dallas from 2009 to 2014, and Texas native Bosh are among the bigger draws for what is billed as an expanded edition of the event.

Performers include KiiiKiii and SB19, with special appearances from Evan and Mirror member Keung To.
NBA House runs alongside the NBA China Games 2026, which sees the Dallas Mavericks play the Houston Rockets in two preseason games on 9 and 11 October at the Venetian Arena, a separate, ticketed venue from the free fan event.
This marks the Mavericks’ first trip to China since 2018 and the Rockets’ first since 2016. Last year’s edition, featuring the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns, drew a combined 22,634 fans across both games, and this year’s event marks the second year of a five-year partnership between the NBA and Sands China.
General entry requires no registration. The event spans Halls A and B of the Venetian and includes a merchandise village with a customisation lab, a large food area blending local dishes with Texas cuisine, an interactive AWS-powered shooting experience on a smart LED court, photo opportunities with NBA trophies, and viewing parties for the two preseason games.
Registration is required only for select performances, available through NBAChinaGames.com.
