In Jeremy Lin’s first interview with local media since suffering a season-ending knee injury in the Nets’ opener, the guard said he will be back for training camp and back playing the same style.
And that style will be better, Lin said, after he essentially will have taken a year off to retrain his body how to move.
“You talking about training camp? Shoot. If I am not, there’s issues,” said Lin, backing the widely held assumption he will opt in for the final season, worth $12 million, on his three-year contract.
Lin will have played just 37 games through the first two years of that deal, after suffering through hamstring woes last season and then rupturing his patellar tendon in this season’s opener.
