Aldridge (illness), following a medical consultation, is considering a return to the NBA this season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The seven-time All-Star retired with the Nets last season in mid-April due to heart concerns. He ultimately needs team medical clearance to sign a contract, and he's expected to have those conversations with individual teams in the coming weeks. With that in mind, Aldridge hasn't made a full commitment to playing again.
