Lin (ankle) has been ruled out Friday against the Thunder, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin (ankle) was officially listed as questionable but apparently the Harvard product will not be able to give it a go Friday at Oklahoma City. It will be the second straight game in which Lin's ankle sprain has prevented him from playing. With Lin out, Trae Young will likely have his workload increased, while backup point guard Tyler Dorsey likely seeing some action as well.

Lin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin missed Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left ankle, and he's expected to test things out during Friday's morning shootaround before making a determination on his status. If he's sidelined again, Kevin Huerter is a strong candidate to see a bump in workload, as he played 34 minutes when Lin missed Wednesday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

Lin was previously questionable due to a sprained left ankle. After going through pregame activities, he's determined that he's in too much discomfort to take the floor Wednesday. With Lin sidelined, Kent Bazemore may take on additional duties in a reserve point guard role.

Lin is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left ankle, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin presumably sprained his ankle during Tuesday's game against the Heat. If he's unable to take the court, Kent Bazemore could handle some reserve point guard duties.

Lin dropped 26 points (11-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt) while adding two assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 124-108 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

It's hard to read into this performance too much, as 26 points is Lin's season-high, but one thing the stat line does show is that he can really only be counted on to produce points, as his season averages of 1.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists are too low to be counted on.

Lin scored 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt) while adding four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 97-89 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

It's the seventh time in the last 10 games the 30-year-old journeyman has scored in double digits, and he's averaging 13.6 points, 3.9 assists, 2.0 boards, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals over that stretch. Trae Waynes will continue to start at point guard for the rebuilding Hawks, but the rookie's recent shooting slump has given Lin an opportunity to make a positive contribution.

Lin registered 19 points (5-9, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds and three steals in 22 minutes off the bench Friday in the Hawks' 124-109 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

With Atlanta trailing by 20 points after one quarter and 23 points at halftime, coach Lloyd Pierce restricted the playing time for most of his starters, including point guard Trae Young (23 minutes). Young's limited run paved the way for Lin to run the offense for most of the night, with the veteran coming through with his third outing with at least 19 points in five games. Lin hasn't topped 24 minutes in any game this season and probably won't see his opportunities pick up with Young entrenched as a starter, but the 30-year-old's high usage rate on the second unit could continue to allow him to post useful numbers.

Lin tallied 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, one rebound, and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 136-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Lin played 23 minutes Tuesday finishing with 12 points and eight assists. Lin's role heading into the season was somewhat unclear and that dampened any fantasy value he might have had. He has the ability to put up some nice numbers in limited minutes but it is going to be hard to keep him on a roster in anything but deeper leagues due to his shifting minutes and role within the rotation.

Lin is resting for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Lloyd Pierce is giving the veteran the day off. Through 32 preseason minutes, Lin has totaled 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Lin (kneecap) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Monday's preseason opener against the Pelicans, Kevin Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin entered camp with some restrictions while working back from a knee injury that costed him nearly all of last season. However, it appears he's made a full recovery and is comfortable enough with the knee to take the court in a live game setting. While he'll likely have his minutes toned down in a meaningless exhibition contest, it's still an encouraging update for a player who's played in just 37 games over the last two years because of injuries. Lin is expected to battle rookie Trae Young for the starting point guard role.
