Game 26 Denver Nuggets vs Atlanta Hawks: Jeremy Lin is Ruled Out

Jeremy Lin is ruled out for this game due to the lower back strain that he suffered on December 5. It would give him seven days of rest if he can play on the December 12 game against Dallas Mavericks. It could be the best decision to rest the back to avoid it becoming a chronic injury throughout the season.

Jeremy Lin is out tomorrow. Lloyd Pierce said they sent him home today to lie on his stomach and rest up.
