Jeremy Lin said he’s excited to be back with the Houston Rockets even though he had expected to return to New York, where he emerged as a star on and off the court for the Knicks in less than half a season.
Lin was introduced at a news conference in Houston yesterday, two days after the Knicks decided not to match the Rockets’ three-year, $25.1 million contract offer. Lin had been waived by the Rockets on Dec. 24 last year before joining the Knicks and going from bench-warmer to starter.
