On May 15, Beijing time, according to Haynes, Zeng Fanbo, a former G League Ignite player and one of the top stars in the CBA, is currently committed to pursuing an NBA career. The 22-year-old, 2.08m-tall marksman has hired Equity Sports agency Mike Silverman and Troy Payne as his agents. It is worth mentioning that the main client of these two agents is Clippers star James Harden.
Zeng Fanbo was injured in a match against Shanxi on April 29 and was diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the lumbar vertebrae. The Beijing men's basketball team then officially announced that Zeng Fanbo's injury does not require surgery, but it needs to be recuperated and recovered for at least 2-3 months, and he will miss the rest of the season. Judging from the current point in time, this also means that Zeng Fanbo will probably need two months to recover.
In the 2024-25 season, Zeng Fanbo played in 37 games in the CBA regular season, including 21 starts, averaging 28.1 minutes per game, scoring 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks, shooting 55.3% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range.
As early as the summer of 2022, Zeng Fanbo represented the Pacers in the NBA Summer League, when he also received an Exhibit 10 contract from the Pacers, but in the end he chose to return to China and joined the Beijing men's basketball team in the CBA. Now hiring Harden's agent, Zeng Fanbo will strive to hit the NBA again after recovery, let us wish Xiao Zeng a speedy recovery and a successful dream.
