I'm sure the chances of that happening are basically zero because it wouldn't look good if you initially cited family health reasons, but who knows.

Or what if another player opts out because of a sick family member that recovers at a later date.
I would guess the answer is no, but looking at the MOU, it doesn't specifically say you can't opt back in ... so, by the Air Bud "ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball" precedent, "ain't no rule says a player can't opt in to play after he opted out".
