PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Allen Iverson’s retirement could be a short one.
A person with knowledge of the talks says the Philadelphia 76ers have been approached about signing former franchise superstar Iverson, and team management has held internal discussions about bringing him back.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because talks have not been made public, says Iverson is among the free-agent candidates the Sixers are considering to replace injured point guard Lou Williams, who’s expected to miss eight weeks after jaw surgery.
Iverson announced his retirement this week after an ill-fated stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 10-time All-Star was NBA MVP in 2001 when he led the Sixers to the NBA Finals. Iverson was traded to Denver in 2006 and spent most of last season with Detroit.
