Li started his career with the Shanghai Sharks at the age of 20 during the 2008–09 CBA season. After two winters in Shanghai, he moved to the Qingdao Eagles for the next two years. He averaged 18 points per game to lead all domestic players in scoring during the 2011–12 CBA season, and was also the MVP of that campaign's CBA All-Star Game.
Li then spent the next three years of his career with the Beijing Ducks, helping the Capital Squad capture back-to-back league championships during the 2013–14 CBA season and 2014–15 CBA season. Unable to come to terms on a new contract with Beijing in the summer of 2015, he then signed with Xinjiang instead.
