Lin (back) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Michael Scotto of The Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin made his return to the lineup Monday after sitting out with a hamstring injury previously, but can't shake the injury bug, as he's now dealing with some tightness in his back. He'll sit out Wednesday in order to afford him some extra rest, which means Isaiah Whitehead will jump back into the starting lineup and should see extended minutes. Randy Foye will also likely see some added time at the point.
