| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia 76ers officially welcomed back guard Allen Iverson during a Thursday afternoon press conference. Iverson's return was complete on Wednesday, when he agreed to a contract, which the Philadelphia Daily News reported on Tuesday was a pro-rated and non-guaranteed $1.3 million deal for the remainder of the season. The way home for Iverson was most likely paved due to the Sixers' 5-13 record and the fact that starting point guard Lou Williams will miss extensive tim |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Allen Iverson's first stint with the Philadelphia 76ers ended with the team yanking his nameplate off his locker and editing him out of video highlights before he was even traded. The Sixers might want to find him a new locker and cue up some clips. Philly fans, pull out that No. 3 jersey from the closet. A.I. is a Sixer again. In a move that appeared farfetched after their acrimonious split in 2006, the 76ers reunited with the briefly retired Iverson on Wednesday in a move designed to s |

| (MySportsbook) - Desperate times call for desperate measures. For the struggling Philadelphia 76ers, that means bringing back enigmatic guard Allen Iverson. Iverson's return to the City of Brotherly Love will prove to be the defining moment for embattled general manager Ed Stefanski, a now toothless front man that has already expended all of the political capital he inherited when he got the job nearly two years ago. Stefanski, a Philadelphia native, was hailed as a savior when he took over for Larry Brown's c |
