Jeremy Lin played 37 minutes and scored 20 points last night in his return to the Houston Rockets line up in a 111 -104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, reports the Ultimate Rockets
Lin had missed 10 out of the last 12 games first with an ankle sprain and then a back injury.
“I felt all right, the second half a little bit better than the first,” Lin said. “I definitely can’t complain in terms of how my body felt in my first game back.”
Lin started in place of the injured Patrick Beverley who’s out 4 to 6 weeks with a fractured hand.
James Harden also sat out last night’s game due to a sprained left ankle.
