Lakers guard Jeremy Lin and forward Wesley Johnson will play in Thursday’s game against the New York Knicks (12-51) at Staples Center despite missing Wednesday’s practice because of different injuries.

But the ailments to Lin (thigh contusion) and Johnson (calf) healed enough to go through Thursday’s morning shootaround.

“I didn’t say any ill affects from yesterday,” Lakers coach Byron Scott said. “So I think they’re both fine.”

The Lakers (16-47) will feature Jordan Clarkson (point guard), Wayne Ellington (shooting guard), Johnson (small forward), Jordan Hill (power forward) and Tarik Black (center) as starters, a unit that has started the past two games. But Scott will likely add one wrinkle.

Scott said there is a “pretty good chance” guard Jabari Brown will make his first appearance since the Lakers signed him to a 10-day contract on Tuesday. Brown played for the Lakers’ Development League affiliate, the D-Fenders, and led the league in scoring (24.4 points per game). Brown will likely have “spot minutes” to give the Lakers’ backcourt some rest, including Clarkson, Lin and Ellington.

“If I can alleviate the minutes from each one of those guys, and that’s probably 15 minutes for Jabari, that will keep them that much fresher,” Scott said.
