The Answer will give his answer to his longtime team Wednesday.
Allen Iverson met with the Philadelphia 76ers Monday, the recently retired guard looking to potentially return with the team where he built his stellar NBA career.
After a short stint coming off the bench with the Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson announced his retirement last week. But Iverson, who led the 76ers to the 2001 NBA Finals and won the league’s MVP award in the process, has been talking to Philly about a return to the hardwood.
The 76ers are struggling, having lost 13 of 18 games so far this season, and could use Iverson to boost sagging interest in the team. Iverson, who many believe still wants to play, could use the 76ers to make a little extra money and get more playing time than he did in Memphis, a team for which he appeared in just three games.
There is no doubt Iverson isn’t the player he once was, the player who earned 10 trips to the NBA All-Star game and who was one of the top players in the league. But if he has the desire to keep playing, Philly seems the logical stop for The Answer.
According to published reports, Iverson is expected to decide whether or not to return Wednesday.
