Teletovic (chest) said he'll be ready to return to action in six months, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Teletovic, who was lost for the season last month due to a blood clot in his lung, spoke to reporters Monday and was in good spirits, expressing optimism about his condition going forward. While he'll obviously be closely monitored, the issue isn't expected to hamper him going forward, and he said he's already feeling 100 percent but is not allowed to return to any contact activities while on blood thinners. A restricted free agent this summer, Teletovic also expressed his desire to return to the Nets.
