Jeremy Lin looking to stay healthy in first season with Hawks

Stay healthy.

It’s really that simple.

After playing in just 37 games over the past two seasons, new Hawks guard Jeremy Lin isn’t setting any concrete goals for the 2018-19 NBA season except for the lone priority.

Acquired in a trade from the Nets in July, Lin played 25 minutes and scored 18 points in last season’s opener when he ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee. After not even a full game, he spent the rest of the season in Vancouver doing hours of rehab.

Almost a year later, Lin said was at Hawks media day Monday.
