Jeremy Lin

At 36 years old, Jeremy Lin has this physical status:

College career

Lin sent his résumé and a DVD of highlights from his high school basketball career to all of the Ivy League schools; Berkeley's University of California; and his dream schools, Stanford University and the University of California (UCLA). Rather than being actively recruited or given an athletic scholarship, the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) schools wanted him to walk on rather than being actively recruited or offered an athletic scholarship. The only clubs that promised him a spot on their squads were Harvard and Brown, but Ivy League colleges do not offer sports scholarships. "Most colleges start recruiting a guy in the first five minutes because he runs really fast and jumps really high," Lin's coach and former NBA player Rex Walters said.

Bill Holden was initially dissatisfied with Lin's on-court abilities and told Lin's high school basketball coach, Peter Diepenbrock, that Lin was a "Division III player." Lin was later seen playing in a much more competitive sport, sprinting to the basket at every opportunity with the "instincts of a killer," and he became Harvard's top recruit. Stanford was worried that Lin — a cross street from his high school — would have a scholarship for Lin Lin, but it did not, and Lin did not enroll in Harvard. Stanford's refusal to recruit Lin "was completely stupid," according to Stanford's CEO and Stanford booster Joe Lacob. The child was right across the street. If you can't recognize it, you have a problem." Kerry Keating, a UCLA assistant who had offered Lin the opportunity to walk forward, said in hindsight that Lin may have been a starting point guard for UCLA.

Lin was recalled as "the [physically] poorest guy on the team" during his freshman year, but he was named to the All-Ivy League Second Team in 2004. He was the only NCAA Division I men's basketball player ranked in the top ten in his region by scoring (17.8), rebounding (4.3), blocked shots (0.6), and three-point shot percentage (0.400), and was a consensus pick for the All-Ivy League First Team by his third year (3.8), ranking (4.8), free throw percentage (0.64), and three-point shot percentage (0.400). In an 82-70 victory over the Boston College Eagles, he had 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, three days after the Eagles defeated No. 76, three days after the Eagles defeated No. 63. 1 North Carolina is located in the state of North Carolina.

Lin had 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks in his senior year (2009–10) and was unanimously selected for the All-Ivy League First Team. He was one of 30 midseason applicants for the John R. Wooden Award and one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award. He was also invited to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Lin was one of the 12 most versatile players in college basketball, according to ESPN's Fran Fraschilla. Lin earned national notice for his effort against the Connecticut Huskies, who were ranked 12th in the rankings, as he scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed 9 rebounds on the road. "I've seen a lot of teams come through here," Hall of Fame Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said of Lin: "I've seen a lot of teams come through here, and I'm sure he could play for any of them." On the court, he has a fantastic, positive attitude. He knows how to play."

Several programs have been set this year, including victories (21), non-conference victories (11), home wins (11) and road/neutral victories (10). Lin finished his career as the first player in the Ivy League to score at least 1,450 points (1,483), 400 assists (404), and 200 steals (225). He graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a degree in economics and a 3.2 grade-point average.

Professional career

Lin was selected by his team in the 2010 NBA draft, to his dissatisfaction. Scouts enjoyed what The New York Times later characterized as "a smart passer with a weak jump shot and a thin frame, who may not have the patience and athleticism to defend, make his own shot or finish at the rim in the N.B.A." Lin joined the Dallas Mavericks for mini-camp and their NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas. Donnie Nelson of the Mavericks was the only general manager to offer him a chance to play in the Summer League. Lin said, "Donnie took care of me." "He has a different type of vision than most people."

Lin averaged 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 18.6 minutes per game, a team-leading 55% from the floor in five Summer League games. Following the Summer League, he received invites from the Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and an unidentified Eastern Conference team.

Lin signed a two-year contract with his hometown Warriors on July 21, 2010. Lin's contract was partially guaranteed for the 2010-2011 NBA season, and the Warriors held a roster option for the second season. Lin also signed a three-year contract with Nike.

After Lin's signing, the Warriors held a press conference, with national media in attendance. "It was surprising to see that for an undrafted rookie," Keith Smart, then-Warriors coach, said. Lin "had something of a cult following" after his signing, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The San Francisco Bay Area, with its large Asian-American population, is celebrating his arrival. He was the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA.

Lin was appreciative of the support he received from followers, particularly from the Asian-American community, but he preferred to focus on his play. Lin received little playing time during the season because the Warriors' two most effective ball-handling guards, Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis, appeared for the Warriors. Lin came on the Warriors' inactive list early in the season, but he made his NBA debut during the Warriors' Asian Heritage Night the next game. As he entered the game in the final minutes, he received a standing ovation. Lin had three assists, and had four steals in the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Lakers. In the third quarter and committed five fouls, he played 11 of his 16 minutes in the third quarter, but the Warriors also took responsibility in a 12–1 loss to the defending NBA champions in a 107–83 loss. The Raptors held Asian Heritage Night in Toronto on November 8, the same as Lin's visit with the Warriors. The game was broadcast by over 20 members of Toronto's Chinese media.

Lin was drafted by the Warriors' D-League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns, three times during the season. He was always recalled by the Warriors after. He competed in the NBA D-League Showcase and was named to the All-NBA D-League Showcase First Team on January 14, 2011. With Reno, he averaged 18 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 20 games.

Is he going to be a superstar?

Lin recovered from a patellar ligament injury to his knee during the 2011 NBA lockout. Lin played a few games for the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) team Dongzhou, China, where he was named the MVP of the tournament in September 2011.

Lin managed to develop his jump shot during the offseason by abandoning the shooting style he had used since the eighth grade. He also lifted his force, doubling the weight he could squat (from 110 pounds (50 kg) to 231 pounds (231 kg)) and nearly tripling the number of pull-ups he could do (from 12 to 30). He boosted his body weight from 200 pounds (91 kg) to 212 (96), with 15 inches (6.8 kg) in his standing vertical jump and 6 inches (15 cm) to his running vertical jump and his running vertical jump, and his running vertical jump by 32 percent. He never had a chance to work out for new Warriors coach Mark Jackson because of the lockout. Lin was supposed to make an offer to restricted free agent center DeAndre Jordan on the first day of training camp on December 9, 2011.

Lin was released by the Houston Rockets on December 12, 2011 and spent seven minutes in two pre-season games in Houston. Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragi, and Jonny Flynn were among Houston's point guards, and all three of them had promised contracts. Lin was waived by the Rockets on December 24, the Rockets' payroll was cleared to sign center Samuel Dalembert before the season's start.

Chauncey Billups was waived by the New York Knicks for cap space to sign center Tyson Chandler. The team claimed Lin off of waivers to be a back up behind Toney Douglas and Mike Bibby after an injury to guard Iman Shumpert on December 27, a guard. Baron Davis, the new signing guard, had also been wounded and was weeks away from being unable to play. Coaches had no chance to see Lin's play and ranked him fourth on the point guard depth chart due to the lockout. Lin said he was "looking for a backup spot," and that people saw him "as the 12th to the 15th guy on the roster,"; he continued to arrive first at practice and leave last, intensively researching game film, and consulting with coaches to improve his footwork and judgement. Lin made his Knicks debut on the road against the Warriors, where he booed him in his return to Oracle Arena. Lin was sent by the Erie BayHawks of the D-League in January, and he scored a triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists in the BayHawks' 122–113 victory over the Maine Red Claws on January 20, a triple-double. Lin was recalled by the Knicks three days earlier, but he was so afraid of being cut again that he asked a chaplain to pray for him at a pregame prayer service.

Davis postponed his Knicks debut on January 28 due to an elbow injury and back pain. Lin was considering releasing him after consigning another player. However, after New York squandered a fourth quarter lead in a loss to the Boston Celtics on February 3, coach Mike D'Antoni—in desperation, according to experts, who wants Lin to play. The coach said, "We were lucky because we were playing so bad," the coach explained; three point guards had failed to supervise D'Antoni's offense, and fans demanded that the team be fired; three point guards had failed to direct D'Antoni's offense. Lin had only been playing 55 minutes in the Knicks' first 23 games, and the team had lost 11 of its last 13 games; however, the Knicks had a resurgent appearance.

Lin had 25 points, five rebounds, and seven assists in a 99-92 Knicks win over a loss on February 4, against the New Jersey Nets and All-Star guard Deron Williams. At halftime, teammate Carmelo Anthony told D'Antoni that Lin should play more in the second half. Lin had a point-guard mentality and "a rhyme and a reason for what he is doing out there" after the game, according to D'Antoni. Lin made his first appearance against the Utah Jazz in the following game, starting without stars Anthony (who left the game due to injury) and Amar'e Stoudemire (whose older brother had died). The Knicks went on a seven-game winning streak following Lin's promotion to the starting lineup. Lin had 28 points and eight assists in the Knicks' 99-88 victory. According to the two players, the next three and seven games were postponed. After the Jazz game, D'Antoni said he intended to ride Lin, but not in the media guide, "like freakin' Secretariat."

Lin played against John Wall and had 23 points and 10 assists in his first double-double victory over the Washington Wizards in 107-93. Lin scored a career-high 38 points and seven assists in the Knicks' 92-85 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on February 10. He outscored Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, who had 34 points, by winning. Lin was deemed "the Knicks' grandest stroke of fortune" after drafting Patrick Ewing in the 1985 NBA Draft, according to the New York Times. Lin scored 20 points and eight assists in a narrow 100-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 11, making a go-ahead free throw with 4.9 seconds remaining. Lin was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 29 points, 8.3 assists, and 2.0 steals in four games; the Knicks went undefeated in those four games.

Linsanity!"

Lin had 13 assists in the game against the Sacramento Kings and brought the Knicks back to a.500 record with a 100-85 victory. Lin scored 26 points but had nine turnovers, putting the team's seven-game winning streak to an end. His 45 turnovers in his first seven years as a result of individual turnover tracking began in 1977–78.

Lin scored 28 points and tallied career highs with 14 assists and five steals against the Mavericks on February 19, defeating them 104-97. "No matter what Dallas threw at Lin – double-teams, traps, blitzes, tall defenders, and smaller defenders... Lin fought him to a victory over the defending NBA champions," the USA Today reported. He did not do as well against the Miami Heat, shooting one for 11 from the field and forcing eight turnovers. The entire NBA team, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and the others focused on Lin, an event that he described as "flattering and frightening." All looked like hawks were circling me and staring," I said.

Lin Lin's sudden ascension became popularized as "Linsanity." Lin had 22.5 points and 8.7 assists per game in his 12 starts before the All-Star break, and New York had a 9-3 record. During NBA All-Star Weekend, he competed in the Rising Stars Challenge. He was cut from the original Rising Stars roster but was inserted after his swift ascension to fame. USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and CBSSports.com all said he deserved to participate in the All-Star Game.

With coach Mike Woodson, the Knicks replaced D'Antoni in March, who had less pick-and-rolls and more isolation plays. Lin had excelled at running pick-and-rolls under D'Antoni. Lin complained about a swollen knee during a March 24 game against the Detroit Pistons, and an MRI later revealed a tiny meniscus tear in the left knee. Lin skipped out on the remainder of the regular season after undergoing knee surgery. During his 26 games as an everyday player, he averaged 18.5 points and 7.6 assists; during that time, the team went 16-10. The Knicks made the Eastern Conference playoffs for the third time this season, finishing with a 36-31 record and seventh seed. In the first round of the playoffs in five games without injured Lin, they were defeated by the eventual NBA champion Miami Heat. Lin came in sixth place in the NBA Most Improved Player Award voting.

Lin was a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Lin "[the Knicks'] Most Popular Player in a decade" was named by the New York Times, who claimed that he had saved the team's season. However, Lin's popularity over only 26 games left teams uncertain about his overall position among the league's best point guards; others believed he was a bench player; others didn't know it.

Former Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni recalled that several players on the Knicks resentted Lin during the Linsanity period, which was corroborated by Lin's former Knicks teammate Amar'e Stoudemire.

Lin during the 2012 offseason, the Knicks encouraged him to look elsewhere, but ESPN reported that the Knicks would beat any other bid "up to $1 billion." The Rockets offered a $28.8 million contract over four years, with the team's fourth year being the team's option, which put the team's commitment at $19.5 million. Woodson said the Knicks would match Houston's bid and that Lin will be his starting point guard. The Rockets later agreed to a three-year, $25 million contract, which Anthony described as "ridiculous." The Knicks did not match the offer, and Lin deduced the team's decision when they signed Raymond Felton instead. According to the first two years of Houston's offer, it was $5 million and $5.225 million, followed by $14.8 million in the third year. The higher salary in the final year, also known as a "poison pill," was designed to discourage New York from matching the offer. Given the team's history of high payrolls, Lin would have been the fourth-highest-paid Knick; they should not have been surprised.

Lin was at the forefront of both the Rockets' preseason "A New Age" public relations campaign and their first ads on Comcast SportsNet Houston. Lin Linsanity's aspirations were unfounded, according to Houston coach Kevin McHale, who said the hopes of Lin were shattered. Lin was expected to have "average 28 [points] and 11 [assists]," according to McHale, but he had never played a complete 82-game season before. The Rockets acquired James Harden, who supplanted Lin as the team's face, just short of their regular-season opener in October. Harden was a ball-dominant, pick-and-roll player like Lin, and McHale preferred to have the offense run through the more mature Harden.

Lin had a rough start to the season and began losing playing time to backup Toney Douglas. Lin scored 38 points in a 134-126 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs, with Harden sitting out due to injury on December 10. The result was reminiscent of Linsanity's play. According to numbers collected throughout the season, Harden and Lin were more effective as a pair on the bench. Before facing the Knicks in his first game back in New York, Lin said, "I'll be my harshest critic, but I'll go ahead and say it: I'm doing fine." Houston defeated the Knicks 109–96 on December 17, the Knicks' first home loss in 11 games. Lin had 22 points and nine assists. In pregame introductions, he was applauded, but the game was booed after the game began.

Lin did not participate in the 2013 All-Star Game, which was held in Houston, after finishing third behind Bryant and Chris Paul in the Western Conference's voting for guards. He was not chosen to compete in the Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend, but instead he was chosen to compete in the Skills Challenge. After the All-Star break, his shooting percentage, shooting percentage, and 3-point percentage all increased, and the New York Times announced that he was "fitting in fine" with the Rockets in February 2013. Lin finished the season with 13.4 points and 6.1 assists per game. Houston qualified for the playoffs but lost in the first round in six games to No. 67. The Thunder, who is 1 seed, has been seeded. Lin suffered a bruised chest in Game 2 that restricted him in Game 3 and sidelined him for the two games after. He returned to the bench for three points in 13 minutes in the final game.

Lin was recalled by Patrick Beverley in the Rockets' starting lineup in 2013–14. Lin, the team's sixth man, became the second unit's primary ball handler and scoring option. Lin earned his first two-game scoring total of his career in November, including season-highs of 34 points and 11 assists, as well as a record-tying nine three-pointers in place of an injured Harden. Lin dominated this with a 21-point win over New York. Lin strained his right knee against the Atlanta Hawks on November 27, and the Atlanta Hawks lost six games due to the injury. Due to back spasms, he missed four more games in December. Lin had 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 106-92 home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 1, 2014, his first career triple-double—in 29 minutes off the bench. After the All-Star break, however, he fell into a shooting slump and then had back pains.

Lin ended the season with 33 starts and averages of 12.5 points and 4.1 assists per game, as well as career highs in field goal percentage (44.6%), three-point percentage (35.3%), and free throw percentage (83.2 percent). Lin averaged 11.3 points off the bench in the playoffs as Houston lost in six games to the Portland Trail Blazers. In a Game Five victory that extended the Rockets' season, he scored 21 points. During the offseason, the Rockets pursued Lin's former Knicks teammate Anthony in free agency and displayed photos outside of Anthony's Houston jersey bearing Lin's No. 7.

Lin was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on July 13, 2014, along with a first-round draft pick and a second-round draft pick, in exchange for the rights to Serhiy Lishchuk. In an effort to bring free agent Chris Bosh, the Rockets moved to clear cap space. During the season, he shot a career-high 36.9% on his three-pointers, but his association with the Lakers, who were just 21-61 in his first season with the team, was undefined.

Lin made his first 20 games of the season after recovering from Ronnie Price's injury, and he began in the preseason late in the season. Nonetheless, he did not do well in coach Byron Scott's offense, which was based on the Princeton offense's methodical player and ball movement. When kicking off the pick-and-roll as he did in New York and Houston, Lin was most comfortable dominating the ball. Scott attempted to resolve the Lakers' poor defense by moving Lin to the bench in lieu of the journeyman Price, despite the team's poor 5–15 record. Lin was furious over the dismissal, saying it was "one of the most difficult situations I've been in." In a blowout loss to San Antonio on January 23, 2015, Scott promoted rookie Jordan Clarkson to begin over Price and decided not to play a healthy Lin. Lin had previously appeared in every game of the season, scoring 10.5 points and 4.5 assists in 43 games. It was the first time he was healthy and didn't play since February 2, 2012, two days before he logged then-career highs against New Jersey at the start of Linsanity. Scott returned Lin to the starting lineup after scoring a season-high 29 against Philadelphia on March 22. Lin and his colleague Clarkson, a Filipino, became the first Asian Americans to start in the backcourt in NBA history on March 24. Lin missed the last five games of the season due to an upper respiratory disease.

Lin signed a two-year, $4.3 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets, the first time the team used their bi-annual exception in the contract. He had been considering re-joining New York, but they were not interested in bringing Jerian Grant, a former guard, and veteran José Calderón as the point guard. Lin was supposed to support Hornets point guard Kemba Walker, and coach Steve Clifford imagined that the two pick-and-roll players would often play together.

Lin was playing in the team's season opener against the Miami Heat on October 28, scoring 17 points off the bench in a 104–94 loss. In a 109-99 overtime victory over Toronto Raptors on December 17, he scored a season-high 35 points. Charlotte defeated San Antonio 91–88 after a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter, as well as the go-ahead jumper with 48 seconds remaining. Lin's only season with the Hornets came to an end after being defeated in seven games by the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. In the year of his nomination for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, he came in seventh place.

Lin became an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2016, after losing his $2.2 million player option for the 2016–17 season.

Lin signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets on July 7, 2016. Kenny Atkinson, who served as an assistant with the Knicks during Linsanity, led the Nets. Lin made his Nets debut in their season opener on October 26, 2016, when the Boston Celtics hosted an away game against the Boston Celtics. He scored 18 points in a 122–117 loss in 27 minutes as a starter. In a 103-94 home-opener victory over the Indiana Pacers, he had a near triple-double with 21 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. For the first time since November 2, he returned to action for Brooklyn for the first time since November 2, 2016, after suffering from a strained left hamstring. In a 122–118 loss to the Houston Rockets, he played 20 minutes off the bench and scored ten points. Lin was back in the starting lineup for the Nets on February 24, 2017 after missing 26 games due to his hamstring strain. In a 129–109 loss to the Denver Nuggets, he only played under 15 minutes and scored seven points with five assists. In a 115-107 loss to the Orlando Magic on April 6, 2017, he scored a season-high 32 points. With a total of 36 games played, he completed the season with 14.5 points and 5.1 assists per game.

Lin was injured in the Nets' season opener against the Indiana Pacers on October 18, 2017. He sustained a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee and missed the remainder of the season.

Lin was traded by the Atlanta Hawks alongside draft picks in exchange for the draft rights to Isaia Cordinier and a future second-round pick. Trae Young, the Hawks' rookie point guard, was selected to be a mentor for rookie point guard Trae Young, who was the No. 1 point guard. In the draft, he received a 5 overall pick. After finalizing a buyout, the Hawks waived Lin on February 11, 2019.

Lin signed with the Toronto Raptors on February 13, 2019 and became a playoff candidate after clearing waivers. Fred VanVleet, the Raptors' reserve point guard, was due to be out for three weeks due to a traumatic injury, and Lamont Wright had recently traded guard Delon Wright. Lin had trouble with the Raptors, averaging 7 points and 2.2 assists. As the Raptors relied on Kyle Lowry and VanVleet, he was limited to playing in garbage time during the playoffs. Lin confessed in June that his 2017 patellar tendon injury continued to limit his athleticism and negatively impact his ability to get to the basket. Toronto made it to the NBA Finals by defeating Lin's former team, Golden State, in six games. Lin became the first Asian American to win an NBA title outside of the United States. In the playoffs, he played for a total of 27 minutes, becoming the first East Asian American and the first Harvard graduate to play in a NBA Finals.

Lin became a free agent on July 1. Later this month, he blasted the fact that he remained unsigned in a motivational address on Taiwanese Christian media outlet GOOD TV. Lin likened his situation to being on "rock bottom," adding that he felt as if the NBA had "kind of given up" on him. Teams were uncertain whether Lin stayed mobile enough to play the point guard position.

Lin signed with the Beijing Ducks of the CBA on August 27, 2019. He has also applied to play in Russia, Israel, and the EuroLeague. Lin will miss the month of January under an agreement reached before the season with their other overseas players, Ekpe Udoh and Justin Hamilton. Lin led the Ducks to a 103-81 victory over the Tianjin Gold Lions on November 3, 25 points, nine assists, and six rebounds in his first appearance on November 3. After receiving the most votes on his team and second most overall, behind South's Yi Jianlian, he was named a starter for the North in the CBA All-Star Game. Lin scored a game-high 41 points in the game, which was won by the South 167–166. The CBA postponed the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the season did not begin until late June. Lin had averages of 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists, and he was a finalist for the CBA Defensive Player of the Year award. Beijing was disqualified in the semifinals of the Guangdong Southern Tigers, who went on to finish as league champions after losing in the semifinals.

Lin wanted to return to the NBA during the offseason. The Golden State Warriors, his original squad, wanted to bring him to their G League (formerly D-League) affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Golden State wanted to sign and release him in Santa Cruz on December 19, 2020, but the Ducks were unable to obtain a clearance letter from the Ducks because FIBA's offices were closed on the weekends. However, the NBA later released a new rule that allowed NBA clubs to select one five-year NBA veteran to fill a spot on their G League team. Golden State was able to keep Lin without having to worry about more complicated and expensive roster moves.

Lin had been welcomed to their team for the 2020-21 season under the new NBA veteran exception law, which some G League observers referred to as the "Jeremy Lin rule." He appeared in nine games, average 19.8 points and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 42.6 percent on 3-pointers.

Lin announced on June 11, 2021, he was back to the Beijing Ducks in the CBA. After returning to China from San Francisco, he was hospitalized in Shanghai in September after contracting COVID-19. When he was in isolation, he lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg). When he returned to play, he was "very ill," he said.

Lin has been a member of the Guangzhou Loong Lions for the 2022-23 season.

National team career

Lin, a U.S. citizen, was a national of Taiwan by descent; he obtained a Taiwan passport, but he didn't get one right away. Lin will be included in the Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) national team's preliminary squad of 24 players for the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship, according to the preliminary roster of 24 players, who will be confirmed in mid-July. Lin was recovering from a knee injury in July 2011, and the Golden State Warriors medical staff told Lin not to participate in competitions.

Lin was invited to the USA Basketball Men's Select Team to scrimmage against the 2012 Olympic team candidates, but he was unable to participate due to his limited free agent status with the Knicks. He obtained a Taiwan passport in August 2020.
