Stanford All-America forward Josh Childress will apply for the NBA draft but will retain the option to return for his senior season, according to multiple sources.

Under NCAA rules, players are allowed to work out for NBA teams and gauge their draft value. As long as they don't hire an agent, they have until June 17 - a week before the draft - to withdraw.

He joined his teammates in Mexico last week for spring break, then met with Coach Mike Montgomery on Tuesday morning.

When asked for an update, Montgomery said: "You'll have to ask Josh."
