The Harlem Globetrotters are coming back to Las Vegas.

The basketball skill-showing and trick-shot team will return to Southern Nevada for a second time this year on Oct. 27 at Orleans Arena. The Globetrotters last performed in Las Vegas on Feb. 9 at T-Mobile Arena.

A select number of Globetrotter players will be available after the game to sign autographs and take photos with fans.

The last time the Globetrotters were in town, “Buckets” banked a shot from atop the T-Mobile Arena catwalk.

Tickets will go on sale June 2 at noon, and can be purchased from harlemglobetrotters.com, ticketmaster.com or at the Orleans Arena box office.
