Knicks’ Lin won’t play until fully recovered

Jeremy Lin, whose sore left knee forced him to miss the Knicks’ victory over the Bucks on Monday, reiterated last night he is trying to fully heal before playing again.

“I’m just making sure that I’m 100 percent pain-free before I come back,” Lin said at a Steiner Sports Q-and-A last night live-streamed on the company’s website. “Just being cautious. Just being sure I don’t have to deal with this again sometime down the road.”

The Knicks play tonight at the Garden against Orlando, and Lin is listed as questionable.

On Monday, Lin revealed his knee began hurting last Friday in Toronto, and he sat out the fourth quarter of Saturday’s win over the Pistons with knee pain.
