According to reports, LaMarcus Aldridge is thinking about a possible return to the court after retiring due to health reasons last season.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said, "After medical consultation, seven-time All-Star F LaMarcus Aldridge is seriously considering a return to the NBA this season. Aldridge retired with Brooklyn in mid-April with heart concerns, but is exploring the possibility of resuming his 15-year career."
"Aldridge ultimately needs team medical clearance to sign a contract to play and is expected to have conversations with individual teams in the coming weeks, per sources. Aldridge has yet to make a final decision on playing again," Woj tweeted.
LaMarcus was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome which is "an extra electrical pathway between [the] heart's upper and lower chambers [that] causes a rapid heartbeat."
"I think in a situation like this basketball is the least of his concerns and everyone else's concern," his former teammate with the Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard, told reporters at the time of his retirement. "So I'm sure it was a tough decision for him, but I'm glad he made the decision in the best interest of him and his family."
