Jeremy Lin is back practicing and hopes for a quick return to the court ... but he understands his long-term health is a larger issue than any single game.
Lin was asked Saturday if his competitive nature might drive him to push for a return against the Rockets (Monday) or the Lakers (Wednesday), two of his former teams.
“No, my health is most important,” Lin said at the morning shootaround before the Spurs game. “It doesn’t matter who we’re playing, I’m going to make sure I make a good decision.”
So will the Nets organization, starting with Kenny Atkinson.
