Career
Shirelijan Muxtar was promoted to the first team of Xinjiang Flying Tigers and debuted in Chinese Basketball Association in the 2008–09 season. He was an important part of the team's three consecutive trips to the Grand Finals in the 2008-09, 2009–10, and 2010–11 seasons, serving as an elite perimeter defender for the team. Through the seasons, he also became an elite three point shooter, and is currently the 10th all-time CBA three-point leader.
In the 2016–17 season, Shirelijan started 30 of the 45 regular season games he played, averaging 30.0 minutes per game. He also averaged 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 three pointers, 1.8 steals, and 1.7 assists per game. He played an important role in the first CBA championship for the Xinjiang Flying Tigers franchise.
Before the 2018–19 season, Shirelijan was rented to Guangzhou Loong Lions for one year in a blockbuster trade. In the same trade, Xinjiang traded Yao Tianyi and rented Sun Mingyang for three years to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou rented Fan Ziming for two years to Xinjiang. Shirelijan returned to Xinjiang Flying Tigers after the one-year rental terminated.
After the 2019–20 season, Shirelijan's contract with Xinjiang Flying Tigers terminated, and he became a free agent. He signed a three-year max (type-D) contract with Nanjing Monkey Kings, averaging 8 million CNY (US$1.2 million) a year. He is the most notable free-agent pick for Nanjing Monkey Kings in their first year of rebuild.
