Globetrotters will return to Covelli Centre

YOUNGSTOWN — The Harlem Globetrotters will return to Covelli Centre Jan. 24 for a 7 p.m. show that will be part of its “Amazing Feats of Basketball World Tour.”

Tickets start at $29 and are now available at ticketmaster.com, by phone at 800-745-3000 and at the Covelli box office.

The Globetrotters include six players who have competed in the annual College Slam Dunk contest held during Final Four weekend, a Guinness World Record holder for slam dunks, and the 2016 winner of the TV show “The Dunk King.”

The dunks do not end with the players, as 2018 will also mark the debut of the “Flying Globies” — an acrobatic trampoline dunk team.

The 2018 tour also marks the return of the Globetrotters’ longtime nemesis, the Washington Generals. After a long-standing series which saw the Generals lose more than 14,000 times, the team is back from a two-year hiatus to rebuild and refocus around one goal – to beat the Globetrotters.
