Rising Houston Rockets star Jalen Green, whose mother and grandfather are from the Philippines, is reportedly expanding his international hoops profile with an investment in the East Asia Super League (EASL).
Per veteran NBA scribe Marc Stein, Green is joining the East Asia Super League — featuring teams from greater China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines — as an ambassador and investor. Retired NBA players Baron Davis, Metta Sandiford-Artest, and Shane Battier hold similar roles.
According to Stein, EASL is scheduled to unveil a new format in October. It will represent Asia’s first interleague competition sanctioned by FIBA, basketball’s world governing body.
