Former Piston Will Bynum Wears Makeshift Jersey Number For Chinese Debut [PHOTO]

Will Bynum's time with the Detroit Pistons may not have gone as well as he would have liked, but his post-Detroit career is getting off to perhaps an even rockier start.

Bynum was traded to the Boston Celtics for Joel Anthony back in October and subsequently released afterward. Bynum then signed with the Guangdong Southern Tigers in China to replace injured NBA draft prospect Emmanuel Mudiay.

Bynum played his first game for the Tigers Friday night, when apparently the team's equipment manager took the night off. A photo surfaced on Reddit from Sohu Sports of Bynum sporting his jersey number taped to the back of his uniform.

Bynum scored 25 points in his debut. Hopefully the jerseys being sold in the team store were a little more up to code.
