Washington Post - Regular season NBA games could take place in China as early as next year, league commissioner David Stern said on Sunday.
The last time the NBA came to China was in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets , led by local hero Yao Ming, played pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Shanghai and Beijing.
"We didn't have the China game in the following year in 2005 because we were having a collective bargain then," Stern told state news agency Xinhua in Guangzhou.
"We don't have it this year because of the preparation of the world championship.
"But we are planning to play some games next year here. It could be pre-season, or even regular season."
