The point guard was removed from team’s staring lineup on Sunday and admitted he’s having trouble dealing with the situation.
Lakers guard Jeremy Lin is not enjoying his time in Los Angeles. On Sunday night, he told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne that this season been “one of the toughest situations I’ve ever been in ever since I’ve started playing the game of basketball.”
The quote came in response to Lin losing his starting point guard job to Ronnie Price. Carlos Boozer was also benched by Lakers coach Byron Scott, in favor of Ed Davis. The changes were announced prior to the Lakers Sunday night matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, which they lost, 104-87, dropping their record to 5-16.
Lin played just 19 minutes in the loss, recording three points and four assists. Price had three points and three assists in 25 minutes of playing time. Following the game, Lin was asked about Scott’s decision and what he thinks has been the root of the Lakers’ problems.
