Ex-Celtics center Jared Sullinger reportedly to sign with CBA’s Shenzhen Leopards
As the 2022-23 season for many leagues around the world draws near, a number of former members of the Boston Celtics are finding new teams to play for. Among them is big man Jared Sullinger, according to HoopsHype’s Alberto De Roa.
Per De Roa, Sullinger will play this season for the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA)’s Shenzhen Leopards. This will be the former Ohio State star’s second stint with the CBA franchise, though in his last season with that team, 2017-18, they were known as the Aviators. They were the first overseas team Sullinger played for after his stint with the Toronto Raptors didn’t pan out. The Columbus native also has played for Anyang KGC of the Korean Basketball League.
Sullinger was the Celtics’ 21st pick of the 2012 NBA draft. He played 258 games for the team over four seasons.
