Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin will be sidelined for two weeks due to a right knee sprain.

The 25-year-old suffered the knock during the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks in a collision with Paul Millsap.

He is expected to miss two weeks but will be re-evaluated after a fortnight, according to ESPN.

In 16 games so far this season, the former New York Knicks star is averaging 15.3 points and 4.5 assists.
