Manila leg of LeBron James’ Manila Tour cancelled

Published


The return of three-time NBA Champion Lebron James to Manila has been cancelled due to a logistical problem according to Nike Philippines.

“We apologize to all the fans in the Philippines and will look to reschedule the tour in the future.”
