Brandon Roy's career tragically ended before the 2012 lockout-shortened season started. After many problems with his knees, Roy decided to call it quits.

Now with the NBA Finals coming up soon and the off-season in full swing, the former Portland Trail Blazers star guard could be making a comeback.

According to a tweet made by ESPN's Chris Palmer, Roy could be back next year.

The Los Angeles Lakers are believed to be a suitor if Roy does in fact make a comeback. The Lakers are in need of a helpful swingman next to Kobe Bryant. The Lakers have been in rumors to get Andre Iguodala, but a trade for him seems unlikely.

Roy is 28 years old and still can have a lot of time left in the league if he plays again. However, the big question is if his knees are up to the task of holding up? It seemed like a given that Roy was going to make a comeback, and now he is finally here.

A year off for him is most probably beneficial for him. Best of luck to Brandon on his comeback.
