Jeremy Lin?

Lin had a very serious knee injury, (ruptured patellar ligament), in the first game of the 2017-18 season, and he missed the rest of that season. That would greatly affect his jumping and lateral quickness, plus he's 32 now, and almost ten years removed from his big couple of months with the Knicks.
