Jeremy Lin news, game updates: Jeremy Lin getting back in momentum with his team; Brooklyn Nets working hard to make up for losses
Jeremy Lin has returned after more than a month of recovery from his first hamstring injury, and the Nets player is slowly but surely getting back in momentum with his team. Meanwhile, coach Kenny Atkinson will be pushing the Nets hard to regain back their standing.
Brooklyn Net's player Lin has been off the court since suffering another hamstring injury last December during a game. Since his absence, Lin missed a total of 13 games, which recently reflected during this season, bringing his team with struggles of having to rebuild their effectiveness on the court.
But since Lin's return, he is committed to working on himself and his rapport with the team.
During the Nets' 15th straight loss in Denver, Lin admitted that their situation is nowhere near pretty. "It's going to be ugly at times. But just slowly getting my rhythm back. The frustrating part as a competitor is not being able to put the imprint on the game that I want to, but it will come," Lin shared according to Newsday.
Even now that the Nets will be faced against the Warriors this Sunday night without Kevin Durant playing, Lin admitted that the player's absence does not make it any easier for him and his team.
Although, Lin remains positive that he and his team will soon get back on their feet.
"I think there's certain things I can continue to grow at every game. [Saturday] night will be frustrating in terms of it will probably look similar in terms of [a limited] role tonight. But I'm at least excited to be out there and play," Lin explained.
Meanwhile, Net's coach will be pushing the team to put in more practice and to work hard in rebuilding themselves. Atkinson is planning to put his team through boot camp to do so.
"It's every other day. It's recovery, game, recovery, game, recovery," Atkinson explained. He added that it will be hard for them to work on the quality of their games with their schedule, but it's their way of sharpening their skills and getting back in the game, the New York Post reports.
