CBA: Jeremy Lin exits hospital after Covid-19, unclear if he can play in China this season
- ‘I still don‘t know if CBA will have foreign aid this season,’ Lin tells followers – ‘if so, I will try my best to play in front of the fans’
- ‘If not, it doesn’t matter. As long as the decision is beneficial to Chinese basketball, I will support it,’ ex-NBA star says
“Yayyyyyyyyyy!! I was discharged today! Thank you for all the brave doctors and nurses. I am so touched that I recovered to health today, very healthy,” Lin wrote in Chinese on his Weibo account.
“Just arrived at the hotel and began to isolate. I want to have a good meal,” he added with a picture of a pizza.
“I still don‘t know if CBA will have foreign aid this season,” Lin admitted, with the league yet to decide if foreign players will be allowed. “If so, I will try my best to play in front of the fans. If not, it doesn’t matter. As long as the decision is beneficial to Chinese basketball, I will support it.”
Lin, who turned 33 while in isolation, re-signed for the Beijing Ducks this summer after failing to find an NBA team despite impressing in the NBA G League for the Santa Cruz Warriors.
However, his immediate return to the court is uncertain as CBA teams are yet to decide if they will allow foreigners to play with the decision set to be taken before the new season.
