Allen Iverson Planning Comeback

Allen Iverson is working out and planning on a comeback in the NBA next season.

 

According to Gary Moore, Iverson's personal manager, Iverson will definitely play in the NBA next season. Last December, Iverson returned to the Philadelphia 76ers and then in March had to take a leave of absence because of an undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah.

 

Iverson has not talked publicly since taking the leave of absence and in the same week, his wife filed for divorce.

 

Iverson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft and spent his first 10 seasons with the 76ers in Philadelphia. In 2001, he won the MVP while leading the Sixers to the finals.

 

Iverson, 35, averaged 26.7 points in a 14-year career with the 76ers, Nuggets, Pistons and Grizzlies, and was a four-time scoring champion. He has not won an NBA championship.

 

After horrendous stints with the Pistons and Grizzlies, Iverson made a tearful return to a sold-out crowd sporadically filled with No. 3 jerseys, eager to prove that there was more in the tank. However, he only showed glimpses of his previous playmaking self when he ruled the courts as one of the best guards in the NBA.  

 

Sixers president Ed Stefanski said the team "not aware of what his plans are for the future."
