Baron Davis, out of basketball since 2012, attempting comeback

Baron Davis is attempting an NBA comeback.

The two-time All-Star, out of basketball since suffering a serious knee injury during the 2012 playoffs, said Tuesday he is eyeing a return to the league this season.

"This is the first time I'm going to put myself out there, I'm going to try out for some teams," Davis said in an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio.

Davis, 36, is a 13-year veteran of the league with career averages of 16.1 points and 7.2 assists per game. But his numbers dropped significantly in 2011-12 while a member of the New York Knicks, as he averaged just 6.1 points and 4.7 assists in 29 games.

Then, in the playoffs, he suffered a partial tear of the patella tendon in his right knee and complete tears of the right ACL and MCL.
