Jeremy Lin suffers 4th quarter knee injury against Pacers
Another notable goes down.
Nets guard Jeremy Lin was forced out of Brooklyn's opener against the Indiana Pacers with what appears to be a right knee injury. Lin was driving to the lane when he landed awkwardly on his right leg.
Lin reportedly told coaches, "I'm done," before becoming emotional. He was eventually able to leave the court under his own power. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Lin will be evaluated Thursday in New York with "tremendous concern."
