Damn you, meniscus tear. But it certainly is good to see that Jeremy Lin is back on his feet and, you know, doing stuff on the road to recovery.
Meanwhile, things aren't going so hot for the Knicks. Two games into the first round of the playoffs, New York has taken a beating from the Miami Heat. Could the Knicks get a much-needed offensive boost from Jeremy Lin? The point guard says he hopes to return by Game 4: Jeremy Lin hopes for Game 4 return.
The second-year guard said he will take contact for the first time this week and hoped to be healthy May 6 when the Knicks host Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.We could see Jeremy suiting up on May 6 when the Knicks host Game 4 at madison Square Garden. But all I really want to see is our man in good in health. Keep your fingers crossed. More here: Knicks will evaluate Lin further later this week.
"I don't really want to make a promise because I just don't know how I'm gonna feel," said Lin, who has been out since March 24. "If I felt good today then that would be more of a possibility, but I didn't feel that great today."
According to the Knicks, Lin was originally expected to return six weeks after surgery. That would set him on course for a return during the second round, but Lin's timetable changed after he played one-on-one with Atkinson on Saturday. Just three days earlier, he had struggled with low-intensity, side-to-side movement and jogging.
"I could do a lot more than I thought I could (on Saturday)," Lin said. " ... It kind of happened really fast."
