Lin, who is hoping to make an NBA comeback this season, played for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League, averaging 19.8 points per game in his nine appearances. His performances have led to calls for teams to sign the 32-year-old by his supporters.

The Indiana Pacers extended Oshae Brissett’s stay with the team on Sunday, signing him to another 10-day contract. Brissett had the 10th highest points per game in the G League bubble while Lin was seventh highest.

Top of the points per game list was Kevin Porter Jnr who has been signed by the Houston Rockets while Lin’s Santa Cruz Warriors teammate Jordan Poole is now at the Golden State Warriors.

 

G League MVP and Rookie of the Year Paul Reed is at the Philadelphia 76ers, Jared Harper is at the New York Knicks, and Henry Ellenson is now a free agent having signed for the Toronto Raptors on a 10-day contract.
