The Rockets listed Lin as day-to-day after he underwent an MRI on Thursday (Friday, PHL time). He did not practice with the team during an off-day in the best-of-seven NBA first-round playoff series, which resumes Saturday (Sunday, PHL time) in Houston with game three. Houston trails 2-0 after losses in Oklahoma City.

Lin was injured in the first half of game two on Wednesday night (Thursday, PHL time). He did not play in the second half of the Rockets' 105-102 loss because of pain in the chest area. - Reuters
