The New York Knicks claimed point guard Jeremy Lin off waivers from the Houston Rockets.
With Iman Shumpert out two-to-four weeks with a sprained MCL, the Knicks were in need of depth at the guard position.
Against Boston in the opener on Christmas Day, Toney Douglas (35 minutes) was the only point guard to see action.
Lin averaged 9.8 minutes per game last season with the Golden State Warriors.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound undrafted second-year man out of Harvard appeared in a total of 29 games, registering 2.6 points and 1.4 assists per game.
