Lin (ankle) posted on his Twitter account that he will be taking the court for Tuesday's preseason game.

His ankles are feeling better, and he posted a picture of him getting taped up prior to Tuesday's contest. Given the lack of another reliable point guard on the team (Steve Nash doesn't qualify due to health concerns), it will be difficult for Lin not to compile relatively solid counting stats this season.

Lin (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday, Lakers reporter Mike Trudell reports.

He took shots Saturday while the rest of the team scrimmaged, but the sprained ankle will probably keep him out of action this weekend. However, given the fact that Steve Nash (back) is already ailing, Lin should be a strong play to start the season, assuming he's healthy by then.

Lin sprained his right ankle in individual drills Thursday morning, adding to the sprained left ankle that has kept him out of the previous two preseason games, but still hopes to play Sunday against Utah, InsideSoCal.com reports.

With the Lakers' point guard depth stretched to the point that Ronnie Price started Thursday's game, it's imperative Lin gets himself right before the regular season kicks off. Lin said he'd like to take part in the full-court scrimmage Saturday before playing Sunday, but his health is the most important concern, as he'll likely be installed as the team's starter due to Steve Nash's persistent back and nerve issues. Target Lin in the middle rounds of drafts.

Lin (ankle) did not practice Wednesday and is not expected to play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Jazz.

Lin sprained his ankle over the weekend and is easing his way back to full activity. While he's unlikely to play Thursday, teammate Steve Nash (back) suffering another setback should pave the way for Lin to start at point guard for the Lakers this season.

Lin (ankle) is in line to become the Lakers' starting point guard, after Steve Nash's nerve irritation flared up recently, InsideSoCal.com reports.

Coach Byron Scott floated the possibility that Nash will come off the bench when and if he is healthy, saying "I have no doubt in my mind if I went to Steve tomorrow and said �I'm going to start Jeremy and the games you're available we're going to bring you off the bench,' he's such a professional that I don't think it will be a problem whatsoever. He just wants to help the team win as much as he can. That's not a concern of mine. But we haven't talked about it." If Scott makes the change, Lin's fantasy value will rise and he becomes a very intriguing mid-late round prospect.

Lin (ankle) did not practice Tuesday.

On Monday, coach Byron Scott said Lin, who sprained his ankle over the weekend, has a 50-50 shot of playing in Thursday's exhibition game. The point guard will likely need to practice in full Wednesday if he's going to suit up against the Jazz.

Lin (ankle) missed Monday's practice but could play Thursday, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

Coach Byron Scott gave Lin a 50-50 chance of playing Thursday, as the guard is still dealing with a sprained ankle that held him out of action Sunday night. Whether Lin is able to practice Tuesday or Wednesday will likely determine his status for Thursday.

Lin (ankle) will not play in Sunday's exhibition game.

Lin sustained a sprained ankle during Saturday's practice and was seen walking around very gingerly prior to Sunday's contest. He'll be held out, but coach Byron Scott said Lin feels much better Sunday than he did Saturday, which is certainly a positive indication. Consider Lin day-to-day and questionable to play Thursday against Utah.

Lin sprained his left ankle at the end of Saturday's practice.

The 26-year-old will be re-evaluated Sunday morning, but it seems likely the team will take precaution and hold him out of its exhibition matchup against Golden State. Lin has gone 4-for-10 from the field, with seven rebounds and 14 assists in 49 minutes so far in the preseason. He figures to open the regular season as the top option behind Steve Nash.

Lin ended Thursday's game with 14 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, and four assists in 21 minutes.

Unlike Monday's preseason opener where Lin failed to hit a field goal, the newly acquired point guard failed to miss in this game. Starting in place of the resting Steve Nash, Lin looked a lot better in his first real time with the starting unit and with Nash's resting schedule going to be a consistent thing in the regular season, Lin will provide solid late round fantasy value.

Lin scored just one point (0-6 FG, 1-3 FT), but added three rebounds, 10 assists, and a steal in 27 minutes backing up Steve Nash on Monday.

While Lin's shot obviously wasn't falling, the 10 assists were a good sign. But, with Steve Nash looking good in his 20 minutes, Lin's ceiling may be capped due to the limits in minutes. He is still the better fantasy option at point guard than Nash, but his ability to breakout could be quelled by Nash's return to full health.

Lin is expected to serve as the Lakers' second-string point guard this season, although anticipated starter Steve Nash is slated to receive regular time off throughout the upcoming campaign, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lin was previously expected to assume starting duties for the Lakers, who acquired the point guard from Houston earlier this offseason. However, upon new coach Byron Scott stating his preference to start Steve Nash, when available, Lin figures to begin the season off the bench. Nonetheless, Nash is will continue to sit out the second game of back-to-back sets, as well as other occasions this season, so Lin should still see his fair share of starts. Furthermore, given Lin's youth and health, he seems the best fantasy option among Lakers point guards this season.

Lin seems destined to be the starter at point guard this season, although no official announcement has been made, NBA.com reports.

Coming over to the Lakers in the last year of a three-year, $25 million contract, Lin will be looking to have a bounce back from a somewhat disappointing 2013-14 season. With Steve Nash's health an ever present question mark, it's not much of a surprise to see Lin as the starter at point in Los Angeles and should improve on his numbers from last season.

Jeremy Lin was officially introduced as a Los Angeles Laker during a press conference with general manager Mitch Kupchak on Thursday.

"I'm just really excited to be part of this organization," Lin said. "For me I'm viewing it as a fresh start, back in the state of California." Kupchak also mentioned that the Lakers tried to acquire Lin on multiple occasions. Lin also expressed his excitement about playing with Kobe Bryant. "I had the opportunity to play with Carmelo, James Harden and Kobe. I can learn a lot from him." With the uncertainty surrounding Steve Nash's health, it is likely that Lin will see a ton of minutes at point guard for the Lakers. If he can improve on the 12.5 points, and 4.1 assists he averaged last season, he could provide decent fantasy value moving forward.

The Lakers officially announced the acquisition of Jeremy Lin on Sunday.

"This trade allows us to acquire a solid player who will make us a better team, as well as draft picks to improve our team," said GM Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers received Jeremy Lin, the Rockets 2015 first-round pick, and a future second-round selection. The Rockets acquire the rights to overseas player Sergei Lishchuk. Lin will likely be the starting point guard in LA, and with the limited offensive options at the Lakers disposal, it's possible he improves a bit on last year's averages of 12.5 points, 4.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

The Rockets are reportedly finalizing a deal that will send Jeremy Lin to the Lakers.

The move will give Houston the cap space to sign Chris Bosh, and Lin might just be the new starting point guard in Los Angeles. Details of the deal have yet to emerge, so we'll fill in the blanks as they become available.

The Rockets are reportedly trying to trade Jeremy Lin to the Lakers, who have copious salary cap space for Lin's expiring $14.9 million contract.

The Lakers and Bucks now seem like the frontrunners to acquire Lin, whom the Rockets need to unload in order to give Chris Bosh a max contract offer. The 76ers also aren't out of the running for Lin, but his fantasy value would probably be best served in L.A.

The Rockets are "moving quickly" to trade Jeremy Lin and clear enough cap space to make an offer to Chris Bosh, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Lin has already been linked to the 76ers and Bucks, and Rockets GM Daryl Morey has simply been waiting for the first shoe to drop before trading Lin away. To entice a team to accept Lin's $15 million salary this year, Houston will likely include draft picks and/or young players. Bosh will reportedly get a max offer worth $96 million over four years, and if he accepts it the Rockets are expected to also match Chandler Parsons' hefty $45 million offer sheet from the Mavericks. Things will progress quickly now that LeBron has made his decision.

The Rockets' potential Jeremy Lin trade won't be put in motion until the Rockets secure a free-agent commitment.

The Sixers and Bucks are the two leading candidates to be trade partners. Those teams won't be looking to acquire Lin for his skills as a point guard, but more because of the draft picks and/or young players that would come with it. Lin's deal is worth almost $15 million this season, so the Rockets will need to get that off their books to add a third max player to Dwight Howard and James Harden.

The 76ers have expressed interest in trading for Jeremy Lin.

This isn't interest in the conventional sense since the draft picks or players that come with Lin are really what the 76ers want. Lin's contract is back-loaded and the Rockets will look to deal him in order to make room for another free agent. He would likely split time at point guard with Michael Carter-Williams.
