My initial reaction was that a suspension is in order, and I might still think that...but after thinking about it more, I think the punishment...
The best outcome would be for the NBA to investigate and identify the player who said it, then have that player apologize directly to Lin and go...
So far no player has come out and disputed Lin’s claim. Investigation will hopefully reveal something...

Some of that comes from NY and CA having better channels for victims to report the attacks than in other parts of the country (where language may...
