No more games! Yang Hanshen has withdrawn from the Summer League! The Pelicans' 13th pick has suffered a torn ligament in his wrist.

The Trail Blazers have prohibited Yang Hanshen from participating in the final Summer League game against the Suns this year , causing him to miss the matchup against his good friend Maluachi (the 10th pick in the first round).

In four Summer League games, Yang averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.3 blocks. The Trail Blazers have already seen what they want from him; in simple terms, the evaluation was successful, leading to his absence from the remaining games to avoid unnecessary injuries.

For instance, the only player in the Summer League who could teach Yang Hanshen a lesson, the Pelicans' 13th pick Quinn, suffered an injury during the game against the Trail Blazers, resulting in a torn ligament in his left wrist and a minimum recovery period of 12 weeks...

Standing at 2.08 meters tall, Quinn plays the power forward position, showcasing a skillful inside game. In this Summer League, he averaged 27.1 minutes per game, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1 block, with shooting percentages of 43.8%, 50%, and 72.2%.

In conclusion, Yang Hanshen surely wanted to play through the entire Summer League, but the Trail Blazers do not want him to continue, and as a rookie, he must comply with the team's directives.

According to reports from CCTV News,Yang Hanshen, who has ended his NBA Summer League journey early, will return to his home country to prepare for the Asian Cup.

Currently, the Chinese men's basketball team has completed their training in Europe and returned home. They still have four warm-up games scheduled, including two against the Venezuelan team and two against the Bosnian team, with the earliest match on July 24.

If Zhou Qi confirms his absence from this year's Asian Cup due to a back injury, Yang Hanshen will likely continue to play as the second center for the Chinese men's team, serving as a backup for Hu Jinqiu, despite being a first-round pick in the NBA.

The Asian Cup will be held from August 5 to 17 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with the Chinese men's basketball team in Group C, facing India, Jordan, and the host nation, Saudi Arabia.

Considering the relatively weak opponents in the group stage, it should not be a problem for the Chinese men's basketball team to advance directly as the group leader.

However, what the Chinese men's basketball team desires is the Asian Cup championship. Currently, their competitors include Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, who are formidable obstacles. The last time China won the Asian Cup was back in the 2015 Asian Championship, when the absolute leader was Yi Jianlian, and Zhou Qi was just emerging.
