In fact, the nagging team injuries were the reasons why he sent an e-mail recently to his digital prayer group asking people to pray for his health and that of his teammates.
Jeremy wrote and ask the prayer group to pray for his health and that of his team. He said that his ankle looked like there was a tennis ball in it for a while, as well as some other nagging injuries that he and his teammates have been dealing with.
He also asked the people to pray for the sanctification of his teammates. He said that lots of guys in the Charlotte Hornets are open to learning more about and growing their relationship with Christ and he hopes that the Holy Spirit further fills the team.
Lin also said in his prayers that he was not able to enjoy his first five years in the NBA as much as he is enjoying his season now. He said that there was something he felt was missing but this year, he was able to slow down and enjoy each day and game more than ever before.
Some critics believe that the arrival of Courtney Lee could take the minutes off Jeremy Lin in the shooting guard position but Hornets head coach Steve Clifford has already found a way to insert Michael Kidd-Gilchrist along with Jeremy Lin back in January.
