Jeremy Lin suffers apparent right knee injury in Nets' season opener

Just a day after Gordon Hayward's horrific leg injury on opening night, the NBA witnessed probably another serious leg injury. Although not of the same magnitude, Brooklyn Nets' Jeremy Lin looked in serious discomfort, with respect to his right knee, landing awkwardly after a layup attempt:

He can be seen saying "I'm done" multiple times. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, there is serious concern regarding the fall:

Brooklyn's Jeremy Lin will undergo evaluation of right knee in New York Thursday, league source tells ESPN. Tremendous concern on injury.

Unlike Hayward, Lin did walk off the floor by himself as he headed towards the locker room. He even took to Twitter to post this message:

Gods ALWAYS faithful and in control ????

While the severity of the injury was yet to be known and announced, a couple of Lin's teammates tweeted prayers and good wishes:
