Report: Former Blazer Brandon Roy Considering NBA Comeback

Brandon Roy's career was sadly cut short by knee injuries, as the Portland Trail Blazers' All-Star guard retired in December at the age of 27. But now, after a few months to rest, Roy is working out again and considering a comeback, according to Ben Golliver of Blazers Edge.

"In the back of my mind, maybe this is something I may do again," Roy said. "But who knows? It's something right now where I'm enjoying playing and not playing with the pain I had last year after going through two knee surgeries. I was never the fastest or the highest leaper but being smart -- those are all little things I have up my sleeve if I do decide to play, those are all positives I do have going for me."

Roy, a three-time All-Star, retired at the end of the 2011 lockout having played just five seasons. He averaged 19.0 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in a Blazer uniform, but his last two seasons were cut short by debilitating knee ailments.
