Minnesota Timberwolves winger Kyle Anderson (2.06m, 29), whose maternal grandmother was born to a Chinese in Jamaica, is on the way to naturalization.
It is the South China Morning Post which reports the information: a new naturalized might make its appearance in the world concert and it is a country which is not accustomed to resorting to it, China. Kyle Anderson’s naturalization process began last year, the source told the Chinese daily. His maternal grandmother was born in Jamaica to a Chinese father and a Jamaican mother, which makes him…one-eighth Chinese.
His great-grandfather moved to the United States with his family and Anderson was born in New York in 1993. He was reunited with his very distant Chinese family in 2018, his mother Suzanne discovering that his grandfather had come from the village from Xinmu to Longgang, Shenzhen. Anderson was given a Chinese name – Li Kaier – during the reunion trip by his cousin Li Tianping, then 70, who wrote the name in the family tree booklet.
This season, Kyle Anderson has averaged 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists for the Timberwolves.
Asked by Chinese media this month, Anderson said he would make a decision on his naturalization following the end of the current season… Like Joel Embiid.
Important point: under Article 3 of the Nationality Law, China does not recognize dual nationality. If Anderson is to don the Chinese jersey, the former UCLA player will have to give up his US citizenship.
Kyle Anderson is the player Rudy Gobert hit during a time-out two weeks ago.
