Jeremy Lin says he's safely returned to China to finish off the rest of the Chinese Basketball Association season. Lin is averaging 24.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game in 30 games for the Beijing Ducks.
The CBA suspended play in January. But Lin and other American players are returning to finish the season with a truncated schedule and other possible temporary alterations.
Lin has been holed up in the Bay Area while the sports world—and beyond—came to a hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Harvard alum shared words of appreciation for medical staffs around the country.
