In 2008, Wei Long had a brief stint with the Singapore Slingers while the team was competing in the 2008/09 Singapore Challenge Series.[citation needed]
On 29 November 2011, Wei Long, together with Shengyu Lim and Desmond Oh, formed the first trio of Singaporeans that signed new contracts with the Slingers for the 2012 Asean Basketball League season.[citation needed]
For the 2013 season, pursuing a higher education at Nanyang Technological University, Wei Long signed a new contract with the Slingers with a partial commitment, which sees him missing out on most of the teams' away games. Wei Long switched his No 5 jersey to 8. Despite juggling his commitments between his studies and the team, 2013 became Wei Long's most outstanding season yet. He was nominated for the AirAsia player of the month for February, averaging 16.5 points in that month.[2] He was also honoured as one of the three best homegrown talents in the ASEAN region who averaged more than 10 points for their team.[3]
On 31 March, Wei Long scored his career-high of 29 points against the Saigon Heat, the most points ever scored by any local player in the team. This performance topped his previous career-high of 20 points against the same team on 17 February 2013, the Singapore Slingers Cancer Awareness night.[4]
In 2017, after the game against Kaohsiung Truth, Wong scored his 1000th ABL career points.[5]
Wei Long is also a member of the men's Singapore national basketball team. In the 2011 SEABA tournament, Wei Long averaged 17.0 points and 4.0 rebounds, and shot a team-high 45.8% from three-point range.
