Childs to return on monday?

After a hiatus of about a month, Chris Childs has apparently dropped enough pounds to rejoin the New Jersey Nets.

Ohm Youngmisuk of the New York Daily News reports: Nets president Rod Thorn says Chris Childs, who is suspended indefinitely for being overweight, could return to the team perhaps as early as Monday.

Childs has been working out and trying to lose weight at the Duke Diet and Fitness center.

It was originally thought that Childs would be back this week.
