CBA faces legal action over handling of club promotion

Chinese basketball made the headlines again in the local media just two weeks after the Beijing Olympics, as a secondary division club vowed to sue the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) after failing to make it into the premier league.

Guangdong Fenglu, champion of the National Basketball League (NBL) last season, is reportedly preparing a lawsuit against CBA, alleging it broke league rules by preventing Fenglu from joining the premier league this year.

The CBA denies the claim.
