    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA After surgery last month, Roy had returned to Minnesota practice before issues with knees forced him to step away again in past 48 hours.

    he needed 1400 minutes this season to guarantee next years 5.3+ million, looks like he is/was still holding out hope of getting there, only 1288 to go!

    if he played the last 56 games of the season he would have only needed to average 23 mpg, as that number goes up i expect a second retirement, or he might wait ffor the wolves to void his 2nd year and try to latch on somewhere for the vet min next year (sad)

    still 1.2 million for the vet min buys alot of starbucks, i can see why he is doing it (besides the whole loving basketball or whatever part)

    Thats what happens when your GM drafts players with medical red flags. Taking risks.

    Well, he had to know, and now he knows. He should have stayed retired, but he felt better with the time off and he thought he could make a comeback. He was wrong. Now he finally realizes what we all knew years ago. He's done.

    Eh, I don't think it was about the money at all. I think he would have come back for the vet minimum. I think he wanted to know if he could still play.

    Looks like he won't retire, but will pursue an extensive rehab plan... from Blazers Edge:

    This is a man that is unwilling to accept reality. He couldn't even make it through the first 25% of games without needing surgery.
