Banged-up Knicks claim G Lin off waivers (AP)

The New York Knicks have claimed guard Jeremy Lin off waivers. The Knicks are short-handed in the backcourt. Iman Shumpert could miss four weeks with a knee injury, Baron Davis might still be weeks away because of his bulging back disc and Mike Bibby missed the opener with a sore lower back. The 6-foot-3 Lin was released by the Houston Rockets on Sunday to make room for Samuel Dalembert.
