Ty Lawson has been banned for life from the Chinese Basketball Association.

Lawson posted some unwise comments on his Instagram account, including a photo of him in an apparent strip club, and that will do it for his playing days in China. Lawson was a talented ballplayer, but consistently making the wrong off-court decisions has hindered his playing career. He'll be 33 next season, so it's extremely unlikely he'll receive an opportunity to return to an NBA club, but perhaps, he'll be able to ink a deal with one of the European teams.

Lawson totaled 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and three rebounds across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors.

After signing a deal with the Wizards just under a week ago, Lawson came out in Game 2 and played 31 minutes off the bench, providing a spark shooting from deep by connecting on four threes. After seeing no time in Game 1, Lawson saw more run than anyone expected, and it seems as though the team is comfortable letting him operate as the third guard in the rotation with John Wall and Bradley Beal for the rest of the series.

Lawson signed with the Wizards on Thursday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.

Lawson was out of the NBA this season after there was seemingly no interest in his services, and he ended up signing with the Shandong Golden Stars in China. Lawson will be the second backup point guard the Wizards have signed over the course of the last month, as they also brought on Ramon Sessions in mid-March, which leaves them with a fairly crowded backcourt heading into the postseason. As a result, Lawson likely won't be playing much more than a deep bench role while Washington's season is still alive.

Lawson has agreed to a deal with the Shandong Golden Stars in China, freelance reporter David Pick reports.

There were reports in mid-July that Lawson had secured a contract with the Shanxi Dragons in China, but those were shot down by Lawson on his personal Twitter account. He will indeed play in China next season, however, just with a different squad. Seemingly no NBA teams were interested in his services and/or asking price after he posted 9.9 points, 4.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 25.1 minutes per game with the Kings during the 2016-17 campaign.
