Linsanity is over in New York after the Knicks decided not to match the Houston Rockets’ contract offer to point guard Jeremy Lin.

The departure of Lin, who averaged 14.6 points and 6.2 assists in 35 National Basketball Association games for the Knicks last season, was probable after New York signed 39-year-old point guard Jason Kidd and re-acquired point guard Raymond Felton in a trade.
