Before flying to China from the US, Lin had been fully vaccinated and received two negative COVID-19 tests.
As he was vaccinated, Lin’s symptoms were milder, but he still stressed that “it hasn’t been a cakewalk...Mentally, it’s a struggle to feel sick while being away from my home and to be patient with my circumstances.”
Lin travels back to China every summer for an annual tour and was excited to see his friends and fans. He said farewell to the NBA earlier this year in May as he failed to receive an NBA call-up despite being a top 10 G League scorer.
The 32-year-old baller played nine seasons in the NBA, and then went overseas to play for the Beijing Ducks in 2019. After one season, he returned back to the US to play for the G League in hopes of entering the NBA.
Keep your eyes on the CBA this upcoming season, as Lin has re-signed with the Beijing Ducks.
