Nets' Jeremy Lin: Ruled out Wednesday vs. Lakers

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

Analysis:

Lin played 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's loss to the Rockets following a long bout with a hamstring strain, but he can't shake the injury bug, as he experienced a tight back after that contest. This latest setback doesn't seem overly concerning, but his absence will result in Isaiah Whitehead making another start at point guard and assuming most of the minutes at the position.
