Jeremy Lin looking forward to Asian tour in August

Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that he is looking forward to an Asian tour upon which he will embark next month.

Lin is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan Aug. 14 for a weeklong stay.

During his visit, Lin will attend various activities and charity events arranged by his sponsors, and will spend his remaining time with local children at a basketball camp to upgrade Taiwan’s basketball development.

A devout Christian, he will also take part in evangelical services.

Lin, the first NBA player of Taiwanese descent, has a great following in Taiwan.

He will return to Taiwan in October for an NBA exhibition game between the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers, which will be played as part of the NBA Global Games series.

The game, scheduled for Oct. 13, will be played at the Taipei Arena, with tickets priced between NT$800 (US$26.7) and NT$28,000.
