Multiple Media Professionals Confirm “Little Fatty” Lovett’s Upcoming Joining of Shanghai Sharks

Today, according to multiple media professionals, “Little Fatty” Kenneth Lovett Jr. is set to join the Shanghai Sharks.

Media professional Xue Sijia confirmed,

“Deal done! (The signing has been completed.)”

Subsequently, media professionals such as Zhao Tan from the Ball Circle and Cheng Jiangnan also updated their social media to verify the authenticity of this news.

Later, Liu Yuechun, a reporter from Shanghai’s local Five-Star Sports, stated that if everything goes smoothly, Lovett can make his debut in the last two games of the first phase.

“Shanghai Sharks confirm the fourth foreign player (pre-signed):

“Little Fatty” Kenneth Lovett, standing at 198 cm tall with a wingspan of 210 cm and weighing 125 kg. Born in 2002, he plays as a power forward.

The coaching staff primarily values his offensive capabilities, hoping he will become a dominant force in the paint. If all goes well, he might be available for the last two games of the first phase.

Besides Little Fatty, the coaching staff is still considering additional options and may sign another new foreign player.”

Lovett, 22 years old, was named the NBA G League Rookie of the Year in 2023, earning All-G League First Team honors twice and being selected for the G League All-Star Game twice.

In the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup, he led the U.S. team to victory, outplaying Victor Wembanyama multiple times in the final and proving to be the most reliable support next to Chet Holmgren.
