It seems so long ago, but when Jeremy Lin was a breakout star with the New York Knicks that sparked the “Linsanity” movement, he was suited up with a No. 17 on his chest.

That will once again be the number that Lin wears when he takes the court, according to an announcement from the Lakers on Thursday afternoon.
