The Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are set to play their second preseason game in China, according to Yahoo Sports reporting.
The game is scheduled as part of the NBA's ongoing effort to host regular preseason matchups in international markets.
This follows a similar event from the previous season, when the two teams also played in China during the preseason.
No further details about the venue, date beyond the China location, or broadcast arrangements were provided in the source material.
The reporting did not indicate whether star players from either team are expected to play or rest for the game.
Other NBA transactions and injury updates were reported separately on the same day, including the Warriors' extension of Brandin Podziemski.
The Kings announced that second-year center Maxime Raynaud suffered what appeared to be a serious right knee injury in a preseason game against the Warriors.
Meanwhile, the Suns secured their first preseason win against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs with a 102-98 victory.
Yahoo Sports also published a feature ranking teams for Jazz fans to root against in the 2026 season, unrelated to the China game.
No connections were drawn in the sources between the China game and any of the other reported NBA stories.
