Lin is one of the most fouled players in the CBA over the past few years, per league statistics cited by Chinese media and used by AFP.
Jeremy Lin is asking for better protection in the Chinese Basketball Association after being in the hospital for a myriad of health issues following a semifinal loss while playing for the Bejing Ducks.
Lin’s first season in China ended with a 2-1 series loss to the Guangdong Southern Tigers, the defending champions, and lengthy health concerns.
On Chinese state television on Monday, the 31-year-old Lin detailed his health issues and the lack of protection in the league.
Lin said he will need another trip to the hospital for his hearing issues. He had problems with his ankles, knees, neck and ears, he said.
