Lin (kneecap) has resumed basketball activities and will be a participant for the start of the Hawks' training camp, though he could have some minor restrictions, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin suited up for just 37 regular-season games with Brooklyn the last two years, including only the opener during the 201718 campaign after he ruptured the patella tendon of his right knee. It appears the Hawks are comfortable with how Lin has rebounded from surgery, which will afford the veteran the opportunity to compete with lottery pick Trae Young for the starting point-guard gig in training camp, per Vivlamore. The fact that Lin is still facing some light restrictions could put his status in question for the exhibition opener Oct. 1 against the Pelicans, though it's expected the 31-year-old will suit up at some point during the preseason slate.

Head coach Lloyd Pierce said Lin (knee) will compete with Trae Young for the starting point guard job, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin played just one game for the Nets last year before rupturing his patellar tendon, but according to Kevin Chouinard of ATLand29.com, he's "progressing at the rate he is supposed to." What that means for Lin's availability to start training camp is unclear, so it will be something to keep an eye in the coming few weeks. Either way, coach Pierce indicated that Lin will compete for the top point guard job, even with No. 5 overall pick Trae Young in the fold. Considering his draft positioning and the fact that the Hawks aren't expected to make a playoff run, Young should be considered the favorite for now. However, if he struggles early on, Pierce's comments leave open the chance Lin could get some work with the starters.

Lin (knee) has progressed to taking contact, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin, who ruptured his patellar tendon during the first game of the 2017-18 campaign, has been making steady progress. Now taking contact, it appears safe to chalk Lin in for participation in training camp. During 2016-17, his first year with Brooklyn, he saw 24.5 minutes per game. But, he could have trouble reaching that mark this year with D'Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddie in the fold at point guard, plus fair depth at shooting guard.

Lin (knee) is working out at full speed but still hasn't been able to take contact, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin is almost nine months removed from rupturing his patellar tendon at the very beginning of the season, and this current update on his progress seems to put him right on track to be ready in time for training camp this offseason. However, his draft stock should understandably be curbed heading into next season, as he's only played in 37 games since 2016 and will be competing for playing time with D'Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddie.

Lin (knee) has progressed to going through "all of" the non-contact drills, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Coach Kenny Atkinson was reportedly impressed with Lin's recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Lin ruptured his patellar tendon during the team's season opener this year, and there's been little word regarding his recovery, though it was noted in mid-December that he could resume running and jumping in April -- a prediction that has held true. He also opted into his $12.5 million player option for the upcoming 2018-19 campaign back in early February, so he'll be back with the Nets for next season. That said, with the myriad of backcourt options available in Brooklyn, including D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert and Allen Crabbe, it's not exactly clear what Lin's role will be moving forward.

Lin (knee) has opted in to his $12.5 million player option for the upcoming 2018-19 season, Zach Lowe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin, who ruptured his patellar tendon in the team's season opener this year, has decided that staying with the Nets is his best option in the immediate future. That's not necessarily surprising, as the 30-year-old has played just 37 games during his first two years with Brooklyn, leaving some questions about his durability and possible effectiveness when healthy. That said, it's difficult to get too speculative about his role next season while we're still in February. It does seem fair to assume, however, that the team would prioritize D'Angelo Russell's development over Lin's when it comes to playing time.

EDGE Analysis

Since rupturing his patellar tendon in the Nets' season opener and subsequently being ruled out for the rest of the campaign, Lin has been rehabbing in Vancouver. The point guard seems to be progressing well in his recovery, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for the start of the 2018-19 season. Lin will turn 31 years old in May and has been limited to just 37 games in his first two years with Brooklyn due to injury, leaving serious question marks about how effective he'll be once he's healthy again.

Lin suffered a patellar tendon rupture in Wednesday's season opener against the Pacers and will miss the rest of the season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin played 25 minutes and scored 18 points Wednesday night before going down with the injury. It's a tough blow for the Nets, who had high expectations for their starting backcourt of Lin and newcomer D'Angelo Russell. The Nets will have a few options with Lin out, with Allen Crabbe most likely to get the start at shooting guard in his absence, but Sean Kilpatrick and Spencer Dinwiddie could also see extended minutes in Lin's absence due to their ball-handling capabilities.

Lin had to leave Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pacers with a right knee injury and he'll undergo further evaluation in New York on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin attacked the basket late in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's contest and was knocked to the floor by a pair of Pacer defenders. He was clearly in a ton of pain while holding his knee and eventually limped off the court to the locker room. The Nets fear that Lin's knee injury could be substantial, but he's expected to undergo additional tests Thursday, which should give us a better indication on how severe it actually is.

Lin finished with 16 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four assists, three rebounds and five turnovers across 24 minutes during Thursday's 107-88 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Lin bounced back after a subpar first preseason game Tuesday, though struggled to hang onto the ball, committing five turnovers in just 24 minutes. Regardless, he'll likely begin the year starting at shooting guard and will hope to remain healthy this year after playing just 36 contest last season while dealing with a hamstring injury. Lin projects to have value in seemingly every fantasy format after posting 14.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals last year.
