CONTROVERSIAL BASKETBALL STAR Dennis Rodman is set to make a return to the court in Bulgaria.

The 50-year-old star, who is reportedly financially stricken, announced his comeback in a recent press conference in Sofia (see video below).

And while it has not been officially confirmed that Rodman will play in Bulgaria’s All-Star basketball exhibition on April 7, he hinted that an on-court appearance was likely.

When asked if he was ready to play, he said:

“Not right now. I am tired. The flight from Miami was long. The weather is warm there and I boarded it straight from the beach.”

However, Rodman said he would be giving lectures to Bulgarian youngsters on his psychological preparation before basketball games.

The star is currently awaiting sentencing in the US, amid claims he owes back child and spousal support to his ex-wife.
