Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Jeremy Lin is hurt. Again.
The Nets point guard’s injury nightmare reoccurred Sunday as he left a 111-104 loss to Dallas in the first quarter with a sprained right ankle.
The point guard suffered the injury after missing a floater against Dallas guard J.J. Barea, coming down awkwardly and twisting his ankle with 5:12 left in the first quarter. He left the contest with 4:36 remaining in the first and the Nets trailing the Mavericks, 19-13.
Lin curiously rode a stationary bike in the tunnel and eventually returned to sit on the Nets bench, but never checked back into the game.
