On Monday in Houston, Jeremy Lin and his balky left hamstring returned to the court for the first time since Nov. 2.
Considering Lin had five weeks of rust on his game and just a single practice under his belt, the Nets’ point guard was solid.
And that’s because he wasn’t trying to be spectacular.
“After five weeks off, I was really thrilled,’’ said coach Kenny Atkinson, who should see an even better Lin Wednesday against the Lakers. “You expect a guy to be a little rusty, but I didn’t see that at all. He had great energy, played with great poise and I was just happy that he didn’t try to do too much.

Quick Take: Lin is the most fun player on the Nets to watch, in my humble opinion. Even when what he tries doesn’t quite work out, him being on the court raises the team’s entertainment factor noticeably. Glad he’s back.
