However, this contract is not a guaranteed contract, but an Exhibit 10 training camp contract, which means that Zeng Fanbo still needs to strive for a formal NBA seat through his performance.

As early as June this year, some media disclosed the Nets' intention to sign Zeng Fanbo, which attracted widespread attention at the time, but Zeng Fanbo Studio immediately clarified. After more than a month of discussion, the two sides finally reached a consensus. Today, Zeng Fanbo Studio officially announced the good news of signing the contract, which made the fans' hearts fall.

The CBA playoffs in late April this year have become a hurdle in Zeng Fanbo's career. During the fierce confrontation, he unfortunately suffered a fracture of the left transverse process of the lumbar spine. The injury report showed that it would take up to 3 months of recovery. In June, in order to better treat, Zeng Fanbo rushed to Germany and continued to rehabilitate after returning to China in July. More than three months have passed since he was injured, and I believe he has gradually returned to good condition. Due to the injury this time, Zeng Fanbo had to regretfully miss the opportunity to represent the Nets in this summer league.

Reviewed in the summer of 2022, he played in the summer league for the Pacers. Although he averaged only 10 minutes per game, he was able to contribute 5 points, 1 rebound, 0.5 steals. The three shooting percentages were also quite impressive, 55.6%, 40%, and 72.7%, respectively, showing certain potential.

In the playoffs, his performance was still stable, averaging 15 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.6 blocks per game, and further improved his shooting percentage in three events. Such an outstanding performance is undoubtedly the key factor in attracting the Nets' attention.

This year's offseason, Chinese basketball has been full of happy events. Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers, Lin Wei was noticed by the Development League, Yu Jiahao joined the Spanish League, and now Zeng Fanbo signed with the Nets again. These young players are stepping abroad step by step and heading to the highest stage of basketball in the world.
