Yi Jianlian, who plays for the New Jersey Nets, is accused on lying about his age. He’s currently being investigated by the Chinese-language edition of Sports Illustrated which “claims he is one of many of the country’s athletes guilty of lying about their age on official documents.”

Basically Yi’s records from when he was a kid say he was born in 1984, whereas the Nets list him as being born in 1987.

Will the issue of Yi’s age come up again tonite since his team is facing the Houston Rockets? We’ll see.
