Jeremy Lin says he is unclear about his future in the NBA, now that the G League season has wrapped up in its Orlando, Florida bubble.
“I’m not sure,” the 32-year-old told the Post in a virtual conference. “In the short term [we will] see what is out there, there are no other seasons that you could jump into other than the NBA. The CBA season and things like that are winding up and it’s waiting and seeing if a team felt like I deserve it or played well enough to be a part of their organisation,” he said.
Lin finished his season on Tuesday night with the Santa Cruz Warriors in a loss to the Lakeland Magic in the semi-finals of the G League play-offs, which used a single elimination styled format with eight teams. The Warriors won their first outing against the Rio Grande Vipers, where he had a team-high eight assists and 12 points.

Lin said he enjoyed the shortened season, and all the attention he received both in Santa Cruz and abroad, especially from Asia. He said the key was heading into the G League with a humble mind and a willingness to work hard and focus on basketball.

“I don’t come in thinking I am above anything or anybody. Coming from my background and coming where I came from, the fact that I can play professional basketball again is truly a blessing.
