Former NBA star Jeremy Lin has no intention of calling time on his basketball career and is weighing up where to play next, not ruling out one last shot at an NBA comeback.

The New York Times basketball reporter Marc Stein tweeted that Lin had told the newspaper that “plans to keep playing and is preparing for next season and evaluating his options”.
Speculation over Lin’s basketball future had been fuelled by a cryptic post from the 32-year-old on social media last week after his bid to make an NBA comeback came to an end with the conclusion of the regular season.
Stein noted that Lin, who played in the NBA G League this season with the Golden State-affiliate Santa Cruz Warriors, “was the only player among its top 11 scorers not to get an NBA look” in his tweet. Lin averaged 19.8 points and 6.4 assists in nine games for Santa Cruz.
NBA champion Lin posted a cryptic message on his social media platforms that hinted at a possible retirement but he has spoken to clarify that several times since.
