In the comments of Lin’s IG page, he sent a text to former Raptor and current Memphis Grizzlies  Jonas Valanciunas and asked if it was okay for him to wear No. 17.  Valanciunas gave his permission.

This was definitely a classy move on both parties. Now it’s time to move on to the Atlanta Hawks who failed to capture a win on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. After being delivered the heartbreaking the 108-124 defeat, the Hawks are on a road to redemption in hopes of capturing a win when they face Lebron and the Lakers Tuesday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is at 7:30.

Lets’s Go Hawks!!
