Free agents
Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the 2011 NBA lockout . FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends.[ 10] The Chinese Basketball Association , however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.[ 11]
