What happened: Windhorst and the Hoop Collective are slated for an October tour with stops in Macao, Manila and Melbourne. Windhorst summed up the plan with a dry line: "It sounded like a good idea at the time."

Why it matters: The trip puts an NBA media property on the road in three overseas markets ahead of the 2026-27 season. It also lands in the offseason window before camps open, when league attention shifts from summer transactions toward preseason setup.

What to watch: Watch for confirmed dates and any guest lineup as October approaches.
