HANGZHOU, China, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) side Zhejiang said on Saturday that former NBA player Arinze Onuaku will replace Jarnell Stokes for the rest of the season.

During his NBA career, Onuaku, 31, a 2.08m forward, had played for New Orleans Pelicans, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic.

"He will join the team immediately after relevant procedures, and we hope he will be of some help for the rest of the season," said the CBA club.

Zhejiang terminated the contract with Stokes for his unprofessional behavior, right after the game with Shenzhen Friday evening.
