‘No news,’ NBA hopeful Jeremy Lin tells Chinese fans as Beijing Ducks return looms
- The 32-year-old shows off his NBA championship ring and thanks fans for support in live stream
- Preseason games now under way but former Beijing Duck says he will tell followers as soon as he has a new team
Lin was speaking on Douyin, the Chinese-language version of TikTok, where he dealt with where he will play next season.
“Thank you everyone for supporting us. Don’t worry, as soon as I have any news I will definitely tell you,” he said.
“But now there is no news that I can truly share with you.”
Lin then showed the camera his NBA Championship ring. “Let everyone see it again,” he said of the 640-diamond ring, which is the biggest in NBA history.
He won the ring with the Toronto Raptors in 2019 before leaving the league when he received no offers as a free agent and then moved to the Chinese Basketball Assocation’s Beijing Ducks.
‘You’ll know when I know,’ says Jeremy Lin of NBA future
He spent last season with the Ducks, playing a starring role in taking them to the play-off semi-finals before announcing his dream of an NBA return.
Lin has kept fans up to speed with his efforts to get an NBA team, sharing videos of his workouts and updates on his journey on his social media platforms in English and Chinese.
“You’ll know when I know,” Lin wrote in a comment to an Instagram follower last Sunday.
That followed up an update on his potential return to Beijing earlier in the month.
“Big decisions coming up soon but that’s an option on the table for sure,” Lin told a fan who asked him not to go back to the CBA on December 1.
