In the early morning of July 9, at the 2025 NBAG League International Player Draft, Lin Wei, a "domestic Wei Shao" who came out of the CBA Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team, was selected to become a member of the Texas Legends, a G League team under the Dallas Mavericks. As soon as the

draft was first announced, Lin Wei's Chinese team also confirmed the news on social media and said, "We want to thank the team for their recognition and trust. The team will discuss the details of cooperation with the team and make a decision as soon as possible."

Previously, after Lin Wei was out of the NBA draft, there was news that many NBA teams including the Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Wizards were interested in inviting him to participate in the summer league. However, as of the NBAG League International Player Draft, Lin Wei's name did not appear in the summer league list announced by all NBA teams.

According to the team, since choosing to participate in this year's NBA draft, Lin Wei has actually received invitations from different teams such as Germany, Australia, and Japan. At the same time, due to the changes in the US NCAANIL policy, he has also received many invitations from Division1 teams. This time he was selected by the NBAG League team, Lin Wei's team also said, "After discussion, we will choose the choice that has the greatest training value and the most comprehensive ability improvement for Lin Wei."

As Lin Wei's CBA parent team, Wang Zhen, the new general manager of Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team, recently visited Guo Haowen, Lin Wei and other players trained in the United States during his trip to the United States to select foreign players.

For Lin Wei, Wang Zhen also posted a video saying: "After this training, Lin Wei is visible to the naked eye and has a lower body fat. I feel that he is more than ten pounds strong. Next, our club will be led by the leader to form a team to come to Las Vegas to provide support and help, and to help Lin Wei pursue his dreams with all his strength. Come on."

It is worth mentioning that the situation of Nanjing Tongxi Men's Basketball Team, which is currently preparing for the new season, is not optimistic. Except for Lin Wei who is likely to leave the team and start his overseas career, many main players and main players in the team are rotating, such as Guo Haowen, Zhu Mingzhen, Liu Dong, etc., are all waiting for renewal. After the team achieved its first playoff experience in team history last season, the new general manager has a long way to go.
