Jeremy Lin Says He'll Be 'Back Healthy Soon' After Suffering Injury in Scary Fall

Jeremy Lin sent a message to his fans after an injury knocked him out of his team's season finale in the Taiwanese P. League+.

The former NBA guard said he'll "be back healthy soon" and added he will "never forget this season."

Kaohsiung 17LIVE Steelers suffered a 92-89 loss to Formosa Taishin Dreamers on Sunday. According to Mike Chan of the South China Morning Post, Lin was inadvertently elbowed in the face during the contest and diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms. His head hit the court when he fell after receiving the elbow.

Immediately after the game, the 34-year-old said he was unsure of his future for next season.

Lin averaged 26 points and nine assists in 18 games with the Steelers. He signed with the team in January after having started the 2022-23 season in China with the Guangzhou Loong Lions.

While the reasons for Lin's exit were unclear, he had been critical of the facilities the Lions were utilizing while quarantining before a game.

More than a decade later, "Linsanity" is still remembered fondly by a group of fans. For a brief period, Lin was the biggest thing in basketball.

His NBA career never quite recovered after he suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in 2017, though. He last suited up for the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors in 2018-19, averaging 9.6 points and 3.1 assists across his spells with the two teams.

Lin tried to work his way back into the NBA with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League in 2021. After remaining unsigned by a team, he effectively closed the door for good on a potential return.
