Jeremy Lin most recently played in the NBA during the 2018-19 season when he was a member of the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors.
He finished the year with the Raptors, who won the NBA championship against the Golden State Warriors.
The 36-year-old continued his career abroad (in China and Taiwan).
On Sunday, Lin announced that he would be re-signing with the New Taipei Kings (h/t Alberto De Roa from HoopsHype).
Lin wrote (via Instagram): “Year 15!
I re-signed with the Kings, I can’t wait to do an encore with my little brother @joe_linstagram and the mates. As the saying goes, getting to the top is not easy, staying there is even harder. It won’t be easy to defend the title, but we are looking forward to the challenge.
I’m grateful to be healthy and able to play every year.
We’ll all meet up on opening night. @newtaipeikings #DefendTheCrown 👑”
Lin spent nine seasons in the NBA with the Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors.
