Rockets' Lin may miss more time with back injury
Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin missed Sunday night's game against the Sacramento Kings with back soreness, and after the game Assistant Coach Kelvin Sampson painted a picture of uncertainty regarding how quickly Lin can be expected to return.
Sampson said post-game that Lin's back spasms might force him to miss Wednesday's game as well.

Rockets.com reporter Jason Friedman also passed along that Lin has been receiving treatment for his back since Friday, following a bump he took in last week's game against the Golden State Warriors.
In Lin's favor is a fairly light schedule for Houston this week. The Rockets host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, and will travel to Indiana to play the Pacers on Friday.
