Former NBA star Jeremy Lin on Tuesday signed for Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) team Beijing Ducks, Xinhua reported, and is expected to play for the rest of the 2021-22 season.
The 33 year-old Lin – who inspired the “Linsanity” craze with the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 season – is named in the club’s official line-up on the CBA website.
“Playing basketball in China feels at home,” he was quoted as saying. “Thanks all fans for the support, and I am looking forward to the second and third phase of this season.”
In his 39 appearances for Beijing Ducks in the 2019-20 CBA season, Lin averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals in about 33 minutes per game, leading the team into the last four.
