NBA veteran Trevelin Queen is reportedly expected to head overseas to continue his playing career with the Guangdong Southern Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association, writes Dario Skerletic of Sportando.
Skerletic’s report cites Chinese journalist Zhang Duo (Twitter link), who in turn credited the Chinese outlet Zhibo8 Sports. Zhibo8’s team page for Guangdong lists Queen as part of the roster.
A longtime G League standout who won both the regular season and Finals MVP awards in 2022, Queen made a career-high 31 NBA appearances last season while on a two-way contract with the Magic. He averaged 4.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 steal in 13.9 minutes per game, though he struggled to score efficiently, making just 38.1% of his shots from the floor, including 28.6% of his three-pointers.
Queen became an unrestricted free agent earlier this summer after Orlando opted not to tender him a qualifying offer. He now has four years of NBA service, making him ineligible to sign another two-way contract.
Prior to playing for Orlando from 2023-25, Queen also had stints with the Rockets and Pacers.
Assuming he officially lands with Guangdong, Queen will become the second player who was on a two-way deal last season to sign with the CBA club within the past month. Former Net Yongxi “Jacky” Cui joined the team near the end of August.
