The Toronto Raptors wrapped up the signing of veteran guard Jeremy Lin and thrust him straight into action on Wednesday night.
The 30-year-old came off the bench to a huge ovation in Toronto in the Raptors’ 129-120 win over the Washington Wizards.

Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but Lin was bought out of his three-year US$36 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week.
In 25 minutes, he managed eight points, five rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block, capping a good first night’s work.
There were 10 members of the Chinese-language media in attendance for his debut.
The Raptors’ starting guard, Fred VanVleet, underwent surgery on an injured thumb earlier this week and is set to miss five weeks handing Lin an immediate opportunity to make his mark.

THANK YOU to the Hawks so much for this opportunity. Coming off of 2 years of being injured, you helped me become myself again on the basketball court and allowed me to experience the joy of hoops again! Thank you to the Ressler family, to Travis, to Coach Pierce, to my teammates. An organization that does things the right way, treats people the right way! What an honor it's been to get to play with Vince the and to watch these young guys develop. The future is bright for Atlanta!!! I truly mean that! Everyone who knows me knows how big my dreams are and that I have so much left to give to the game. Hyped to join the Raptors!! Galatians 6:9 #WeTheNorth #NeverDone

The well-travelled Lin, 30, became a household name in 2012, when a short but prolific run with the New York Knicks sparked what became known as “Linsanity.” Since then, he played for Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte and Brooklyn before arriving in Atlanta in the off-season.
Lin began his career with the Golden State Warriors in 2010-11.
With the Hawks, Lin averaged 10.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per game.
