NBA Note - Brooklyn Nets Lin, Jeremy

Oct 20, 2017 - 8:21 AM PG Jeremy Lin is expected to miss the 2017-18 season after sustaining a ruptured patella tendon of the right knee in the Nets' opener. Lin was injured on a drive to the basket during the fourth quarter of the Nets' 140-131 road loss to the Pacers on Wednesday and had to leave the game. "Jeremy worked tremendously hard during the offseason and in training camp and was excited for the prospects of the team this season," Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. "We feel awful that the injury will cost him the season, however our entire organization will be there to support Jeremy in every way possible throughout his recovery." Before exiting the game, Lin totaled 18 points and four assists in 25 minutes.
