Lin (back) participated in practice Thursday, Barbara Barker of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin was absent from Wednesday's game against the Lakers after dealing with tightness in his back, but after a day of rest, Lin is back on the court practicing, so it looks as if he will be good to go for the Nets' upcoming three-game road trip starting Friday. The team will likely still ease Lin back into the rotation, however, given that he has been absent for so long.
