Players from Nanjing Monkey Kings and Zhejiang Guangsha Lions paid tribute to those who died of coronavirus. SHANGHAI: The Chinese Basketball Association league resumed on Saturday behind closed doors after a five-month hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, just as the country battles a cluster of infections in Beijing.

In front of the watching Yao Ming, the first match of the restart saw Zhejiang Guangsha Lions defeat Nanjing Monkey Kings 112-95. Both teams bowed at the end to the largely empty arena in Qingdao and celebrations were muted. When the CBA was brought to a halt on Feb 1, at the height of the coronavirus outbreak in China, defending champions Guangdong Southern Tigers topped the standings after 30 matches.
