BEIJING (AP) - A Beijing newspaper on Thursday was investigating a story it published this week, quoting Chen Haitao — owner of the Guangdong Tigers basketball club — saying forward Yi Jianlian would "definitely not" sign with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Yi was drafted No. 6 two weeks ago and is expected to be the fourth Chinese to play in the NBA.
The Chinese-language Beijing News said it stood by its story, but a top Guangdong club official said it was untrue and the club had not talked with the newspaper.
