Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin is expected to miss the rest of the season after rupturing the patella tendon in his right knee. Lin was hurt midway through the fourth quarter of the Nets' 140-131 loss Wednesday night in the season opener at Indiana. The former Harvard guard was hoping for a stronger second season with the Nets. He was limited to 36 games last season, mostly because of a left hamstring injury, while Brooklyn finished with the NBA's worst record. “Jeremy worked really hard to get back from injury, so we hope everything's OK,” Atkinson said after the game.
