Due to overwhelming demand, full–season reserved seat memberships and general reserved memberships for new members are currently exhausted.

If you would still like a full-season reserved seat membership, you can join our reserved seat membership waitlist for a fee of $10 per seat.

This will grant waitlist members the first rights to any full-season reserved seats that become available after our existing reserved seat members have renewed and seat change requests have been fulfilled.

Existing members have until Friday 18th of July to renew their membership and keep the same package.

More general reserved seat memberships may become available once all existing general reserved members have had the opportunity to renew. We will continue to communicate with regards to the availability for new members.

Uh oh....

The Chinese Anti-Doping Agency has released the names of two American basketball players who failed in-competition tests in April during the domestic league.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Chinese Basketball Association said it had been notified by the agency of doping violations involving Montrezl Dashay Harrell and Troy Akeem Gillenwater.

It said both players tested positive for Carboxy-THC and that both have given up the right to have their “B” samples tested. The CBA said it would impose penalties on the players once the anti-doping agency had made a final decision on the case.

Carboxy-THC is found in cannabis. The World Anti-Doping Agency bans all forms of psychoactive cannabinoids during in-competition periods.
