Allan Houston's plans at a second comeback attempt might happen again with
the Knicks.
The 37-year-old former All-Star shooting guard has been working out and
playing all summer and, according to multiple sources, Houston has spoken
recently with Donnie Walsh about an invite to training camp later this month
in Saratoga Springs.
A person close to Houston said he "looks at this as the last opportunity to
give it an honest and fair shot." Houston retired on Oct. 17, 2005 after
chronic knee troubles.
The Knicks have an interest in Houston - especially if he shows he can still
shoot it like he used to - but Walsh is believed to have an interest in
including Houston in something on the basketball operations side of the
business if he isn't able to make the roster.
Houston started hinting at a comeback last year and the Knicks gave him an
invite last fall. He arrived a week late because of the birth of his
daughter, Jade, and didn't last more than a week of practices. He played
sparingly in one preseason game before calling it quits, citing he was not
physically ready to the rigors of the NBA game. But Houston continued to
workout throughout the winter and played at the Nike Pro City league this
summer.
