Nets forward Yi Jianlian will not participate in the Chinese national games.

Yi would have represented his native country of Guangdong.

The Nets weren't happy about the possibility that he could play in the games, which would have taken him away from the team for a majority of the month.

Strangely enough, the Star Ledger is reporting that the Bucks agreed to allow Yi to play in the games more than a year ago, prior to his arrival in New Jersey.
