Jeremy Lin shot and worked on conditioning drills during Wednesday's practice.

This marked the first time Lin has been a participant at a Knicks' practice since undergoing surgery on April 2nd.

"He's starting to smell the gym a little more, which is great," Woodson said. "I asked him yesterday how he felt after getting out running a little bit, he said he felt pretty good. But we got to put him through drills where he's cutting and things of that nature to make sure the knee doesn't swell up and he's not physically sore. There is going to be some soreness. We just have to make sure when he steps out on the floor he's able to do basketball things."

Mike Woodson thinks Lin could be ready for the second round if the Knicks advance.
