Changes
After a one-year suspension due to salary reasons, Yunnan Bulls were removed from the CBA.[1]
All teams except Bayi Rockets[why?] can have two foreign players while the bottom 5 teams of last season have an extra right to sign an Asian player. Generally, Asian players are not counted as foreign players, and foreign players of each team can play no more than 6 quarters collectively each game. However, when facing Bayi Rockets, Asian players are counted as foreign ones while foreign players can play no more than 5 quarters collectively. Players from Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei are counted as domestic players in either situation.[2]
