Jeremy Lin signs with Warriors’ G League team in NBA comeback attempt

“Rock bottom just seems to keep getting more and more rock bottom for me,” said veteran point guard Jeremy Lin, in a speech in Taiwan during August 2019. “So, free agency has been tough. Because I feel like in some ways the NBA’s mind of given up on me.”

Since that day, Lin spent his time playing professionally in China for the Beijing Ducks. Although, he has not given up on his NBA journey. Now, he is on the verge of making a comeback. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Lin will sign a deal with the Golden State Warriors’ G League team called the Santa Cruz Warriors.

The 2021 G League season will take place at Orlando, in the Disney World bubble. Opening night is expected to be in early February, with playoffs wrapping up early March.

During the 2018-19 season, Lin was a rotation player for Atlanta, coming off the bench and averaging 10.7 points per game while shooting 34.7 percent from the arc. That did not stop the Hawks from waiving him after the trade deadline. He suited up for Toronto the rest of the season with whom he became the first Asian-American player to win an NBA title. He could not latch on another NBA contact after that so he chose to play in China.

Merely 18 franchises will be sending a team to be a part of shortened G League season, and the Warriors will be one of them. During those game, Lin will have a chance to impress a team and possibly earn an NBA contract.

According to Charania, other veteran players like Michael Beasley and Lance Stephenson will also be signing G League contracts. They will enter the 2021 G League Draft, which is scheduled for January 11.

Roy Keane insists Bruno Fernandes should not be compared with Eric Cantona

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the most impactful transfers for Manchester United in recent times. He has completely changed the team with his motivation and hunger.

Fernandes joined Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020. He helped the team to finish third after the break due to the Coronavirus pandemic. He has been fundamental for United.

Many people suggested that Bruno Fernandes is the worthy successor of Eric Cantona. But former Manchester United legend Roy Keane refuses to compare Bruno with Cantona.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – MARCH 08: Fred of Manchester United and Aaron Wan-Bissaka of Manchester United battles for possession with Raheem Sterling of Manchester City during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford on March 08, 2020 in Manchester, United Kingdom. (Photo by Matt McNulty – Manchester City/Manchester City FC via Getty Images)

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said: “It’s not easy winning football trophies. Fernandes has had great praise for the last few months and people have been comparing him to [Eric] Cantona etc. Fernandes didn’t really do much tonight.”

“The top players turn up in the big occasions. And that’s what the Cantona’s used to do – they get their hands on trophies. That’s where this team are a little bit short.”

“They probably need one or two more players to come into this squad, no doubt, and they need the mentality and confidence of winning a semi-final to get them over the line.”

“You then get momentum and they just didn’t quite have it tonight. “

“But credit to City – they were up against an outstanding Man City team tonight who turned up and put on a good show.”

Although Bruno Fernandes has a brilliant 27 goals and 17 assists to his name in just 46 Manchester United matches, he gave possession away too cheaply at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola’s side will now look to win a fourth consecutive Carabao Cup against Tottenham Hotspur in the final at Wembley on 25th April.
