Former Raptors guard Jeremy Lin to play in China, signs with Beijing Ducks

Jeremy Lin has agreed to play in China next season, signing with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association.

The deal had been reported earlier in the day Tuesday by local Chinese media, with the former Raptors point guard apparently confirming the announcement on the video app Douyin.

“Beijing, I’m here,” Lin says in the video, wearing a Ducks uniform.

The 31-year-old finished last season with the Raptors, becoming the first Asian-American to win an NBA championship.

But he struggled after joining the Raptors as a free agent after the trade deadline, averaging 7 points and 2.
