Anou Enright September 21, 2011 Rumors No Comments on Kenyon Martin to Play in China

Let’s just hope the Nuggets have enough guys to field a roster when the season starts…

Longtime Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin will sign a contract to play with Xingiang Guanghui in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Martin’s contract will be the the biggest in CBA history.

“It’s a great opportunity for him to stay in shape and stay fresh,” said Andy Miller, Martin’s agent. “And it also gives him an opportunity to expand his name globally.”

It’s an exciting career opportunity for Martin, an unrestricted free agent, who won’t have an out-clause in his contract. The CBA ends on Feb. 16, but Martin’s team is talented and could make a playoff run toward the end of March.

Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith, Martin’s Denver teammates, are also playing in China this year.
