Recently, Jeremy Lin opened up in an interview featured on the Brooklyn Nets’ official website, discussing his rehabilitation progress and his deep connection with the team. Though sidelined by a season-ending injury—a torn patellar tendon in his right knee suffered during the first game—Lin has remained actively engaged with his teammates and fully invested in the team’s development. Even as global sports fans stay glued to every BD Cricket Match, Lin’s determination reminds us that battles are fought both on and off the court.
Despite being unable to share the floor with his teammates, Lin has consistently shown support through social media, encouraging the team during both victories and defeats. The Nets currently hold an 11–19 record, sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference. While that may not sound impressive at first glance, Lin pointed out that the team’s growth compared to the past two seasons is clear and promising. “I’m just really excited,” Lin said. “For a young team like ours, we’re starting to show flashes of what a solid team looks like. When we compete against stronger teams, we’re displaying grit and willpower. Hopefully, we can start pushing those close games to the wire and come out on top.”
Lin will be heading to Vancouver to continue a more intensive phase of his rehab, working closely with a specialized recovery team that the Nets’ management has partnered with. General Manager Sean Marks confirmed the plan, saying, “It’s a long-term process. We’re carefully deciding, game by game, what Jeremy needs when we travel, and Vancouver offers the best treatment support for his situation.”
On December 18, Lin returned to the bench for the first time since his injury, attending the home game against the Indiana Pacers. “I’m deeply committed to this team,” he said. “I keep in touch with my teammates all the time. They check in on me weekly, and I watch their games and share my thoughts. It’s all genuine—we truly care about each other, and it’s not just for show.”
Lin emphasized that his rehab isn’t guided by a fixed timeline but by listening to his body and progressing step by step. “There’s no deadline,” he said. “The important thing is how I respond to recovery. I have a full year to get this right, so I’m not in a rush. But I can’t wait to play again. When I do come back, I want to be a better version of myself.”
Just like in a hard-fought BD Cricket Match where patience, strategy, and resilience shape the outcome, Lin’s journey is about more than physical healing—it’s about perseverance and staying mentally locked in. His story resonates beyond basketball, echoing the same determination fans admire during a tense BD Cricket Match that comes down to the final ball.
