Former Celtics' guard Dana Barros is considering a comeback to the court as a member of Cape Verde's Olympic qualifier team, according to The Boston Globe.

"I'm a little excited about looking into it," said Barros, now the Celtics' director of player development. "I'm going to definitely look into it and see if it can work out."

Barros's father is Cape Verdean, making him eligible to play for the nation.

"It would be great for them," said Barros. "Growing up in Boston, I'm proud of my Cape Verdean and black heritage."

He claims that he's in great shape and plays roughly three to four times a week.

Minnesota forward Ryan Gomes is also Cape Verdean and considered playing for the country before fatherhood came calling.
