Lin eyeing NBA comeback after Ducks departure

Jeremy Lin has parted ways with the Beijing Ducks to pursue a "dream" return to the NBA, leaving the capital club to rebuild with a reinforced domestic core.

With the tipoff of the 2020-21 CBA campaign a month away, the three-time league champion Ducks on Tuesday announced Lin's exit, claiming they had tried to persuade the 32-year-old guard to stay.

In a video message posted on his Weibo account on Tuesday, the official deadline of the new CBA season's player registration, Lin confirmed his departure from the Chinese league, attributing the decision to his desire to resume playing at the very highest level.
