Lin returns to bolster Ducks' playoff push

The Beijing Ducks on Tuesday announced the re-signing of former NBA star Jeremy Lin for the remainder of the 2021-22 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season.

"I've finally come back. Playing basketball in China feels like home. Thanks to all the fans for the support, and I am looking forward to the second and third phases of this season," said 33-year-old Chinese-American Lin, whose registration information has been updated on the CBA website.

Lin averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals in 39 appearances as the Ducks reached the last four of the 2019-20 CBA postseason. Beijing ranks ninth in the current standings, with an 8-5 win-loss record.
