Last season, the NBA's labor dispute canceled
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat's triumphant return to Kansas City. Nearly a year later, the Heatles have a date tonight with the Sprint Center. At 7:30, the defending NBA champions play preseason ball with the retooled Washington Wizards, led by rookie Bradley Beal. Get tickets ($30–$90, plus tax and fees) at
sprintcenter.com. And if you want to party with Bron-Bron and D-Wade, the VooDoo Lounge (1 Riverboat Drive, North Kansas City) holds a celebrity VIP event with the ballers at 9 p.m. Tuesday, October 23. Tickets start at $50, and you gotta be at least 21 to get in. Buy them at
ticketmaster.com or by calling 816-808-3519.
