After missing 17 games with a strained hamstring, Jeremy Lin will finally return to the hardwood in a black-and-white uniform, not a nifty new blazer. It’s officially been 40 days since the 28-year-old point guard took the floor.
This news was revealed by Brian Lewis of the New York Post in a tweet, and comes in light of the fact that Lin’s status was inactive (rather than out) for Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The longer we went without any word on Lin, the more this was starting to feel like a top secret spy mission, like Operation Remington on Scandal.
