Ex-Knick Noah Vonleh’s nightmare season in China ended with six people ‘trying to break in’ to hotel room

On Thursday, NBA journeyman Noah Vonleh shed light on a disturbing first year with the Chinese Basketball Association’s Shanghai Sharks.

Vonleh relayed a story in which he claims the team’s general manager attempted to have him removed from his hotel room after attending a Sharks game shortly after the CBA’s All-Star Game in March.

“The general manager tells the hotel to send people to my room to force me out of there. There’s six people coming to my room trying to break in and grab me out the room,” the 28-year-old wrote on Instagram. “They using weapons to try and break in and threatening me saying all kind of things.”

Vonleh also provided a photo of some type of instrument that such officials were seemingly using to access his room’s peephole.

The 6-foot-10 forward outlined that the root of his troubles with the team stemmed from an injury and his recovery.

“The Sharks tried to rush me back many times and told team doctors and doctors outside of the team to lie to me and tell me I’m ok to play,” Vonleh said. “I sent my MRI results to doctors in the States and they had different opinions and confirmed I wasn’t ready to return to play.”

As a result, Vonleh asserts that his fully guaranteed contract was voided on Feb. 26, but that he continued to try to fight for his full earnings.
