The verb play is not generally a linking verb, but it can be used as a linking verb. A linking verb links noun+ noun, pronoun + noun, noun+ adjective, or pronoun + adjective. As it is generally used, the verb play is an action verb: "I play football." It could be used as a linking verb: "The actor played James Bond." (noun + noun)
