The NBA’s G League has launched an investigation after Jeremy Lin said he was called “coronavirus” on the court, U.S. media said on Friday.
Taiwanese-American Lin, who is part of the Golden State Warriors’ G League affiliate, Santa Cruz Warriors, made the claim in a Facebook post on Thursday but did not specify when or where the incident occurred.
“Being an Asian American doesn’t mean we don’t experience poverty and racism,” the former New York Knicks guard said. “Being a nine-year NBA veteran doesn’t protect me from being called ‘coronavirus’ on the court.”
A league spokesman confirmed to the New York Times that an investigation had been opened.
