Chris Andersen is officially back on the roster of the New Orleans Hornets, according to the Times-Picayune.

We was seen at the team's practice facility on Tuesday but did not play against Atlanta on Wednesday night.

"Here is a guy who is a human being and made a mistake just like basically we all have at one time or another," Hornets' owner George Shinn said Tuesday night. "He has paid the price and had to step down from his profession for two years. I know for a fact the guy has not had a drop to drink."
