The Nanjing Monkey Kings (simplified Chinese: 南京大圣; traditional Chinese: 南京大聖; pinyin: Nánjīng Dàshèng) are a Chinese professional basketball team based in Nanjing, Jiangsu, which plays in the Southern Division of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). The club joined the league ahead of the 2014–15 CBA season as the Jiangsu Monkey Kings, after spending its first seven campaigns at the lower levels of the country's basketball hierarchy. The team was renamed the Nanjing Monkey Kings after the 2016–17 CBA season.[1]
