Lin (back) will play, but come off the bench in Friday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin should be good to go after putting together a full practice Thursday, but he likely won't be playing a full load of minutes. He played just 20 off the bench in his return to the floor Monday, and it's likely Lin sees a similar dose Friday. Rookie Isaiah Whitehead will start at point guard for Brooklyn once again.
