AKRON - NBA stars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony are preparing to headline a four-game homecoming tour.
The series of games begins in James' hometown of Akron, Ohio, on Dec. 1, followed by matchups in New Orleans on Dec. 4, Chicago on Dec. 7 and culminating in East Rutherford, N.J. on Dec. 10. All four players are planning to be in each game, as is Chris Bosh.
Wade tells The Associated Press that the players have been at a training camp in Oregon for the past few days. A total of nine charitable events such as food drives and clinics are scheduled as part of the tour as well.
All four games are expected to sell out fast. Tickets go on sale Tuesday. Proceeds will benefit each player's charitable foundation.
The tour will be sponsored by Google Plus, which plans to stream all games live.
