No Linsanity for Taiwan
Nine-year NBA veteran Jeremy Lin and brother Joseph won’t suit up for Chinese-Taipei against Gilas in the FIBA Asia Cup qualifier at the PhilSports Arena tonight. They’re not on the Taiwan roster for this window and only two players from the squad that took fourth place at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year were held over. Coach Sang Mao Sen isn’t even enlisting a naturalized import, an indication that either Taiwan may not be taking the FIBA Asia Cup seriously or it’s rebuilding for the future with a new nucleus.
