In a surprising tweet and follow-up story, Adrian Wojnarowski reported Wednesday that LaMarcus Aldridge, who stepped away from the game after a health scare in April, is thinking about returning this coming season.
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.

On April 15, when Aldridge announced his decision to retire, he spoke of how he experienced an irregular heartbeat during a Nets game against the Lakers five days earlier, after which his condition worsened.
