Jeremy Lin went down several weeks with a bum knee, and underwent surgery. He was projected to possibly be back for the first round if the Knicks made the playoffs. Well, the Knicks made the playoffs, but Lin is unlikely to see the first round.
People familiar with the situation said he’s at least three weeks away and definitely will miss Round 1. Because Lin had a “lateral’’ meniscus tear in his knee, it takes much longer to rehab than if it was a “medial’’ tear, according a person with knowledge of Lin’s situation. … Lin hoped to beat the six-week timetable, but that isn’t happening as his knee swelled up after surgery.
