Jeremy Lin Out For Season With Ruptured Patella Tendon

Unfortunately, this is probbaly the end of his career. He has one more season remaining in his Nets contract, but I doubt he plays in the NBA after that. Shame his run was cut short. He's an exciting player.

Lol wtf are you talking about? He's 29

This guy thinks its 1985. They are growing ligaments in petri dishes from stem cells now days. He'll be better than new when he returns.

He's 29... Why all the doom and gloom? He could absolutely come back from this.

He'll be 30 when next season starts. I don't think he can come back from this. Can't rememebr players coming back effectively from a major knee surgery at 30.

this NBA season is off to a terrible start. seems like there's a lot of bad mojo going around. freak season ending injuries in the first game of the season. the Celtics already out of ECF contention and the Nets out of 8th seed playoff contention just like that. sucks for the affected players and nba fans

Perhaps it's the shortened preseason?

It's a conspiracy to get the Cavs back to the Finals And get them a #1 pick!

Or maybe it's got something to with curses.

Worst case, imagine what the CBA would pay him with endorsements he could make 30 mil a season over in China.

Bro what are you talking about? It happens all the time. He may not come back 100%, but he definitely has a place in the league. He turned 29 only 2 months ago and you're actin like he's damn Vince Carter out there. He has a lot of basketball left in him.

Suck For Linsanity but damn that Nets pick looks good now.

Well, I think he'll come back but the worst case scenario is that he can't. In which case he uses his BB knowledge and his degree from Harvard to do whatever the hell he wants. Front office, coaching, media, etc. He's a smart dude... He'll be fine.
