Multi-platinum recording artist 'N Sync will be paying Georgia a visit next week, with a few of its celebrity friends. The band will be taking a break from its sold-out North American summer tour to host a charity basketball game on the campus of Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta, Ga.

The game between the "Daze" and the "Knights" will be played on Wednesday, Aug. 25, with the tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. All the members of 'N Sync will be out on the court, playing with or against stars such as Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Brian McKnight, Tyrese, Big Boi from OutKast, and members of Blackstreet and Third Storee, among others. Team coaches for the "Daze" include Reggie Miller of the Indiana Pacers, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Ike Austin of the Orlando Magic. Team coaches for the "Knights" include Antwan Jamison of the Golden State Warriors, Chris Webber of the Sacramento Kings, and Dennis Scott of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The announcers will include Jamal Anderson of the Atlanta Falcons and Chauncey Hannibal of Blackstreet.

The proceeds raised are going to the Arnold Palmer Hospital For Women And Children and to the Atlanta Hawks Foundation.
