Lin has only just arrived in the CBA bubble in Zhuji, Zhejiang province, where the first part of the season is being played until November 14.

The NBA champion also posted photographs of his reunion with teammates on Saturday. “I was so excited to see everyone training with the team on the first day!” Lin wrote on China’s Twitter-like Weibo.

 

Lin, 33, had announced his return to the CBA bubble on social media on Friday.
