The partners will launch the NBA Rising Stars Invitational” in June.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced a landmark multi-year collaboration with Sport Singapore (SportSG) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to bring a series of NBA events to Singapore.

Starting in June, the partners will launch a new, multi-day immersive basketball and entertainment festival in Singapore culminating in the “NBA Rising Stars Invitational”.

The NBA Rising Stars Invitational, the league’s first regional high school tournament, will feature teams from 10 Asia-Pacific nations competing at Kallang Alive Precinct from 25 to 29 June.

The festival will be headlined by a line-up of current and former NBA and Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) players.

Participating teams will be identified in collaboration with local basketball federations and leagues with select markets hosting local qualifying events to determine its representative. Singapore, as the host country, will be represented by two teams in each division.

Top players will have the opportunity to attend future NBA basketball development camps, showcases, and programmes.

“The NBA Rising Stars Invitational will help accelerate and elevate the basketball ecosystem in Asia-Pacific while serving as a viable pathway for players to receive additional basketball training. We look forward to working with SportSG and STB to bring the NBA Rising Stars Invitational and other exciting events to Singapore,” Wayne Chang, managing director of NBA Asia said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
