Taipei, Aug. 25 (CNA) U.S. basketball star Kobe Bryant, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, will make a whirlwind 24-hour visit to Taiwan Sept. 7, Nike Taiwan announced at a press conference Friday.
Bryant, who will be visiting Taiwan for the first time, will meet 4,000 fans in the National Taiwan University Gymnasium, where he will conduct a short basketball clinic, according to Nike Taiwan General Manager Roxanne Chiu.
Bryant will meet the local media at a press conference and will leave for Seoul the next day, Chiu said.
Taiwan is the third stop for Bryant on his Sep. 4- 9 Asia Tour, which also includes Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul and Beijing.
However, he is not expected to put on an extensive demonstration or competition as he is still in rehabilitation following knee surgery in July.
