Zaid Abbaas (Arabic: زيد عباس; born November 21, 1983, in Nablus[1]) is a Jordanian retired professional basketball player. He last played for Orthodox Basketball Club of the Jordanian Premier Basketball League. He also was a member of the Jordan men's national basketball team.[citation needed]
Abbaas competed with the Jordanian team at the FIBA Asia Championship 2007 and FIBA Asia Championship 2009. In 2009, Abbaas helped the Jordanian team to a national best third-place finish by averaging 13.8 points and a team-leading 8.8 rebounds per game.[2] The third-place finish meant that Jordan qualified for its first ever FIBA World Championship.[citation needed]
On the heels of his strong 2009 Asia Championship performance, Abbaas signed with Chinese Basketball Association team Shanghai Sharks, where he spent the 2009–10 season.[3] Abbaas played for the Beijing Ducks for the 2010–11 season.
