Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin missed the entire second half of Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma City because of a chest contusion, and his status for Saturday’s game 3 is uncertain.

X-rays were negative, according to the Houston Chronicle, but it’s too early to say whether he’ll play Saturday.

“This is easily the most frustrating thing that’s happened this entire season,” Lin said, according to the Chronicle. “I’ve been healthy all season. The second half of a playoff game, on the road, we’re playing well, Game 2, it’s just … yeah, it speaks for itself.

“It was fine as I was sitting here at halftime. I tried to run out of the tunnel and couldn’t really run. When I did, it would go crazy. We’re supposed to just see what happens tomorrow, how it feels tomorrow. As long as stuff stops spasm-ing, I’m good. I don’t know how any of this stuff works.”

Lin had seven points, three assists and four rebounds in 20 minutes of action Wednesday.
