The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears initially reported the Chinese Basketball Association didn't file the formal paperwork to clear Lin's path back to the NBA.
Stein provided an update Sunday: "Without a FIBA Letter of Clearance, Golden State could not go through with its plan to sign and waive Lin before 11 PM ET last night, but I'm told the Warriors 'will explore all avenues' to acquire Lin's rights if he chooses the G League route after spending last season in China.
