G League IDs player who used anti-Asian slur vs. Lin, resolving internally

The G League has identified the player who made a derogatory remark to Santa Cruz Warriors' Jeremy Lin during a game last month and is handling the matter internally, a move supported by Lin.

"Lin has met with the player to discuss the escalating racism and violence toward Asian Americans, and the player understands the impact that hearing his comment had on Lin," the NBA's development circuit said in a statement, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Amid a spike in anti-Asian violence in the United States, Lin recently detailed some of his own experiences with racism in a social media post, implying he was referred to as "coronavirus" by another player during a game.

"Being an Asian American doesn't mean we don't experience poverty and racism," Lin wrote. "Being a nine-year NBA veteran doesn't protect me from being called 'coronavirus' on the court."

The next day, Lin explained why he wouldn't reveal the identity of the player who used the offensive remark.

"I know this will disappoint some of you, but I'm not naming or shaming anyone," Lin said. "What good does it do in this situation for someone to be torn down? It doesn't make my community safer or solve any of our long-term problems with racism."
