The New York Times reports that one potential NBA Comeback won't happen next season.

Sal DiFazio, the agent for the former Nets star Jayson Williams, called rumors that Williams is hoping to return to the N.B.A. hogwash. Williams, who was forced to retire last summer because of a broken right leg, sparked the imaginations of some reporters by competing in highly competitive games at the YMCA in Somerville, N.J., a few days a week.

"He can't come back," DiFazio said. "He told me the other day that he won't be playing for a while because his back was hurting him. He said, `Man, I'm getting old.' "
