US basketball star Tracy McGrady is close to sealing a deal to play for Qingdao DoubleStar in China, a team official said yesterday.
Qingdao has reached a verbal agreement with the seven-time NBA All-Star and was waiting for McGrady to sign a contract, Qingdao's general manager Sheng Xishun said.
"Both parties have reached a verbal agreement," Sheng said. "The contract is for one year." He declined to give financial details.
McGrady is familiar to Chinese fans through his years playing alongside the now-retired Yao Ming with the Houston Rockets.
The Chinese Basketball Association team had already signed the contract and sent it to McGrady's agent for the player's signature, Sheng said.
"So far we haven't received a reply from him (McGrady). We expect him to confirm tomorrow or the day after," he added.
McGrady, 33, has played for several teams in his NBA career including six seasons with the Rockets.
