Former Heat player Dorell Wright chooses to sign in China

Wright will sign with the Chongqing Soaring Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association.

Though there was some interest between the Miami Heat and former first round draft pick Dorell Wright, a possible reunion will have to be put on hold with the news that the 29-year-old small forward will be heading to China to play for the Chongqing Soaring Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association.

Wright himself took to Twitter to confirm the news.

Though Wright had earlier in the offseason spoke of a desire to rejoin the Heat, there was little indication that the team was interested in his services until Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald had reported earlier in the week that team officials had been in contact with Wright's representatives.
