JEREMY Lin, the Asian-American standout who came off the bench to revive the New York Knicks last season, is likely to rejoin the team after an arbitrator's ruling on Friday.
The NBA players union sought "Larry Bird rule" free agency protection for Lin, Steve Novak, Chauncey Billups and JJ Hickson and future players claimed off waivers just as if they had been traded under NBA salary cap rules. The NBA said it will appeal the ruling by arbitrator Kenneth Dam.
All four players were waived this season and claimed by other teams, with Lin the most notable, having been dropped by two clubs before being given a chance by the Knicks. All four will become free agents on July 1. Lin is the first US player of Chinese heritage in the National Basketball Association.
