Jeremy Lin open to playing in China

Jeremy Lin spent much of the 18-19 season with the Atlanta Hawks

Jeremy Lin has been in the news over the past few weeks, although the 31-year-old has yet to find a team for the upcoming season. Lin appeared to be on the verge of a move to the EuroLeague but reportedly pulled out of the deal at the last minute due to his desire to play in the NBA. However, the point guard told Jonathan White that he would consider a move to the CBA:

Of course, I am thinking about the CBA... I don’t know where I will be next year, so I don’t have expectations. I know what level I can play at, so if I don’t get that I won’t settle.

Lin ended the 18-19 season with the Toronto Raptors but struggled for minutes as the franchise won its first title. Before his move North, Lin performed well as the Atlanta Hawks' backup point guard.
