Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson has obtained Chinese citizenship through naturalisation, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) said on Monday.
The 29-year-old forward from New York is the latest elite athlete to gain Chinese nationality through naturalisation and the first basketball player to do so.
Citizenship could potentially allow Anderson to play for China at the FIBA World Cup that tips off on Aug. 25 in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia, as well as at the Olympic Games in Paris next year. China had previously announced an 18-man squad for the World Cup, but FIBA said the final rosters will be confirmed only after a technical meeting that is set to take place before the start of the tournament.
Former Arsenal and Brentford midfielder Nico Yennaris, who was born in England, became the first overseas-born player to be called up for China's national team in 2019.
