Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin underwent surgery on his right knee Friday, and while he remains out for the season, the team expects him to make a full recovery.
Lin suffered the non-contact injury upon landing Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. The 29-year-old was visibly shaken, mouthing the words "I'm done" before breaking down in tears.
It's a tough blow from both a leadership and scoring perspective for the rebuilding Nets. Lin has a player option for next season at $12.5 million.
