TwThe NBA G-League has opened an investigation into Santa Cruz Warrior Jeremy Lin being called Coronavirus during a game.
Earlier in the week, Lin opened up on Facebook about the racism he’s faced as an Asian American.
“Being a 9 year NBA veteran doesn’t protect me from being called ‘coronavirus’ on the court.”
Lin is the first Asian American to win an NBA Championship and was the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA. He famously led the Knicks to 10 wins in 13 games, during a span the media dubbed “Linsanity”.
