 Yao Ming (R) and NBA star Tracy McGrady watch the Yao Foundation Charity Game  between China team and the NBA Stars team on July 1, 2013 in Beijing, China.

Tracy McGrady will lead a team of former NBA stars to play friendly games on a 3-week tour in 11 cities across China, organizers said on Tuesday.

The US team, which also includes former NBA stars Ater Majok and Brandon Robinson, will play CBA teams from Liaoning, Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces or regions in October.

Their first match will be played on October 6 in South China's Liuzhou and the last on October 28 in southwestern Kunming.

The versatile McGrady had made his professional baseball debut in May.

He started as the pitcher for the Sugar Land Skeeters, allowing two runs in 1 2/3 innings during the 5-3 loss to the Somerset Patriots.

McGrady was a seven-time All-Star player in NBA. He had won two scoring titles as an NBA player.
