Excellent Live News On April 14th, , Jeremy Lin reposted a post from Mark Stein, expressing his desire to return to play in the NBA.
Stein wrote: “The Pacers signed O’Shea Brissett to a second 10-day contract. Jeremy Lin became the only player in the top 11 of the G League scoring list who did not sign with the NBA.” Jeremy Lin reposted the accompanying text
Wrote: “Just need a chance #already ready.”
Statistics show that Jeremy Lin played 9 regular season games in the G League, averaging 19.8 points per game, ranking seventh in the G League scoring list.
Like Stein said, he’s the only player in the top 11 who hasn’t signed with an NBA team this season.
Why are NBA teams unwilling to give a contract to Jeremy Lin who is in good shape?
Previously, some American media had analyzed Jeremy Lin’s two major obstacles to signing with an NBA team.
First, his age is not young. Jeremy Lin is almost 33 years old. In the eyes of NBA general managers, players of this age have little room for improvement. They prefer to leave opportunities to younger players.
Second, and most importantly, Jeremy Lin’s potential injuries.
He was absent due to injury in the G League, and NBA teams will also worry about Jeremy’s injury.
However, there are too many injuries in the NBA this season, objectively, it will also create some opportunities for Jeremy Lin to fill his position.
For example, the Nuggets’ Murray suffered a serious injury with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season. This Western Conference team needs to strengthen the backcourt.
US media reported that the Nuggets might consider Thomas Jr. and Rivers Jr., and some fans suggested that the Nuggets consider Jeremy Lin.
After all, Campazzo, who replaced Murray, is only 1.78 meters tall. They are not suitable for finding another short guard. In contrast, Jeremy Lin, who is 1.90 meters tall, may be more suitable for the needs of the Nuggets.
Just like Jeremy Lin himself said on social media, he just needs a chance.
I hope that opportunity that belongs to him will come as soon as possible.
So far in his NBA career, Jeremy Lin has played 480 regular season games, averaging 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
