Lin (knee) will miss the final three games of the season, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports.

A recent MRI revealed an abnormality in the left meniscus that Lin tore back in 2012. He may only need rest to address the issue, but even if that's the case, the Lakers have no incentive to bring him back for another game or two. Jabari Brown and Wes Johnson should get all the minutes they can handle over the final three games, with Dwight Buycks also a key part of the rotation. The knee issue couldn't have cropped up at a worse time for Lin, who is set to become a free agent this summer.

Lin (knee) will participate in pre-game warmups, but he still appears doubtful to play Sunday Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News reports.

With the Lakers playing for a draft pick at this point, there's little reason for Lin to play if he's at all hurt. Expect him to sit the rest of the regular season in order to avoid any type of long term injury.

Lin missed Saturday's practice due to a sore left knee, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Absent the last two games due to the ailment, Lin received further rest Saturday. A recent MRI confirmed that he's dealing with an abnormality in his meniscus, meaning his season is certainly in jeopardy. However, the Lakers have yet to rule him out for Sunday's contest against the Mavericks.

Lin (knee) will not play Friday against the Timberwolves, Mark Medina of the LA Daily News reports.

Lin is still battling soreness in his knee, and he'll miss a second straight game. Jabari Brown will again start alongside Jordan Clarkson in Lin's place.

Lin (knee) will have his left knee examined Thursday, Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times reports.

Lin was held out of Wednesday's game with soreness in the knee - the same one on which he had surgery in 2012 to repair a torn meniscus. At this point, the MRI should be considered precautionary, but his status for the rest of the season may be dependent upon the result. If he's held out again Friday against Minnesota, rookie Jabari Brown will likely make another start.

Lin (knee) is a late scratch ahead of tip-off for Wednesday's game and will not play due to soreness in his right knee, Mike Bresnahan of the L.A Times reports.

Lin was initially in the Lakers' starting lineup, but was scratched due to lingering soreness in his knee shortly before the game was set to start. Jabari Brown will replace Lin at shooting guard.

Lin is still starting in the backcourt for the Lakers, but he played just 24 minutes Tuesday after playing just 17 minutes Sunday.

If Lin isn't going to play at least 28 minutes per game, it's highly unlikely that he'll collect enough stats to be worth using in standard leagues the rest of the way. Also, with his minutes unclear, it'd be a poor investment to spend money on Lin in daily games.

Lin (illness) posted 10 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes of action Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Lin had missed the last two games with an illness, but he appears set to play moving forward. He's averaging 14.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 steals in March, and is worth owning in standard leagues as a starter.

Lin (illness) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Pelicans, Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times reports.

Lin was battling an upper respiratory infection earlier in the week, but, as expected, he's over the illness and will rejoin Jordan Clarkson in the Lakers' starting backcourt.

Lin (illness) may return to action Wednesday against the Hornets, the LA Daily News reports.

An upper respiratory infection has forced two consecutive absences, but coach Byron Scott is of the belief that Lin will be able to gut it out Wednesday. Prior to the brief run of DNPs, Lin was ripping it up, averaging 21.3 points (on 50 percent shooting), 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 0.8 steals in 31 minutes.

Lin (illness) will not play Monday against the 76ers, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

Lin will miss a second straight game with an upper respiratory infection, and Wayne Ellington will get another start in the backcourt with Jordan Clarkson. Consider Lin questionable for Wednesday's game against New Orleans.

Lin (illness) will be held out of Sunday's game against the Nets, Newsday's Rod Boone reports.

Lin has an upper respiratory infection, and he should be considered day-to-day and questionable for Monday's game. In his absence, rookie Jabari Brown could enter the starting lineup, as could veteran Wayne Ellington. Regardless, Jordan Clarkson will likely see additional minutes at the point guard spot.

Lin (illness) posted 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 36 minutes of action Friday against the Raptors.

Lin showed no ill effects in Friday's game, continuing to contribute strong numbers as a starter. He's averaging 21.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers over the last four games, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore him in standard leagues.

Lin (illness) will play Friday against the Raptors, Mike Trudell of TWC Sportsnet reports.

Lin will once again start alongside Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt Friday. He's coming off 19 points, three rebounds, and five assists in Wednesday's contest, and has scored at least 19 in each of the last three games. He could be in line for a similar performance Friday, but will face a tough Raptors squad.

Lin is dealing with a minor illness, which leaves his status for Friday's game against the Raptors in question.

Lin's ailment does not seem serious, but it could prevent him from taking the court Friday. If Lin is unable to go, Wayne Ellington would get the start in his place.

Lin scored 19 points in his second straight game Wednesday against the Timberwolves. He added three rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes of action.

Lin is averaging 16.8 points and 5.0 assists over the last five games, and seems to be set to start until the season is over. He'll hold value in standard leagues in spite of his inconsistency.

Lin got the start Tuesday and finished with 19 points, seven assists, two rebounds, and two turnovers in 30 minutes on the floor.

Lin started alongside Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt and the two of them combined for a solid outing. It remains to be seen if Lin will continue to start, but he is producing at a solid level right now. He has gone 2-for-2 from beyond the arc in each of his last two games.

Lin will start at point guard in Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Lin's promotion to the Lakers' starting lineup coincides with him dropping a season-high 29 points in 29 minutes against the 76ers on Sunday. The move will result in Wayne Ellington coming off the bench and Lin probably sharing ball-handling duties to some degree with rookie guard Jordan Clarkson.

Lin scored a season-high 29 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT) Sunday in a win over the 76ers and had five rebounds, five assists and a steal in 29 minutes.

Lin has been coming off the bench for much of the season, and his 29 minutes Sunday were his most in seven contests. In his two previous games, Lin had shot just 4-for-16 from the floor and had single digit points in two of his past four games.

Lin (back) will in fact play in Sunday's game against the 76ers, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lin was able to get through Sunday's morning shootaround without any issues and should assume his normal role off the bench against the 76ers. The 27-year-old is averaging 23 minutes on the court over his past six games and will likely see around that same total Sunday.
