NOTE: No. 5 Shanghai defeated No. 12 Jiangsu, 2-1, in the first round but both teams were disqualified for
point shaving. No. 4 Shenzhen was awarded a bye, which by FIBA rule constitutes a 20-0 forfeit win in the first game of a 3-game series. On 15 January 2026, the
United States Department of Justice indicted Jiangsu player Antonio Blakeney for his participation in
point shaving incidents that involved Jiangsu games in the CBA, along with numerous NCAA men's games from 2023 to 2025. == Awards ==
