"The domestic lockout tour of NBA stars apparently is about to take to the world stage.

In the wake of a report by a Puerto Rico newspaper last week, ESPN and Yahoo are reporting that a group of NBA stars that would include the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James are poised to participate in a six-game world all-star tour from Oct. 30 through Nov. 9, with stops in Puerto Rico, London, Macau and Australia.

While the event is contingent on the continuation of the NBA's work stoppage, the NBA already has cancelled games scheduled through Nov. 15, with additional rolling cancellations expected to be forthcoming if there is no progress in the federal mediation that continues Thursday afternoon.

According to the ESPN report, Wade and Bosh already have signed contracts for the six-game tour, with James expected to follow."
