    Drexler Ponders Possible Return

    The usual route from the NBA to the Hall of Fame is a one-way ticket, not round trip. But Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler is considering getting back on the court.

    Drexler, 42, said Thursday he might consider returning to the NBA and lists the Nuggets as a possibility. The 10-time all-star who retired in 1998 was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last weekend.

    "If someone with a chance to win a championship would call, I'd consider it," Drexler said. "The Nuggets are certainly one of those teams. If you look at their young talent, they are phenomenal on paper.

    "I know I could do it."

    Thursday evening on ESPN radio, Drexler toned down his comments, saying he would likely stay retired but would listen to offers.

    *SNIP*

    Drexler said he believes he can be effective and stay healthy by playing about 20 minutes a game coming off the bench.

    "The whole key is you can't be depended on to be a starter like Karl Malone was with the Lakers," Drexler said. "You're going to have some injuries if you're playing big minutes. But if you can come in and do what (Nuggets guard) Earl Boykins does and provide a spark for six to eight minutes a half, you can do that on one leg."
