The lowly Brooklyn Nets currently sit at the bottom of the NBA standings with a record of 8-25. The team are desperately missing the scoring punch and leadership of their point guard Jeremy Lin. Unfortunately for Nets fans, there isn't a clear idea of when he will be returning.
Lin will not feature in the Nets game on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers and neither will his teammate Rondae Hollis-Jefferson:

Whilst the franchise tries to remain positive, despite their lack of notable assets and the difficulty the team has staying healthy, they eagerly await information on when their point guard may be able to return to the court, which can also be frustrating for the Lin himself:

Brooklyn have a long way to go before they become a relevant basketball team, to say the least. However, when Lin is on the floor, they are able to give teams a respectable contest. Nets fans, cross your fingers and hope for a speedy recovery.
