Sixers Have Questions, But Still No Answer.


I'm sure by now many of you have heard the rumors of a possible reunion between Allen Iverson and your Philadelphia Seventy Sixers. While reactions at the moment appear mixed you should probably read the following statement from team President and General Manager Ed Stefanski, before you get your Under Armour in a Twist.

STATEMENT:

This afternoon, we met with free agent Allen Iverson in Dallas for the first formal discussion regarding a possible return to the Philadelphia 76ers. The meeting lasted approximately two hours and covered a variety of topics, all of which we would prefer to keep between the team and Allen.

The meeting was attended by Allen, his agent Leon Rose and his personal manager Gary Moore, along with 76ers Senior Vice President/Assistant General Manager Tony DiLeo, Head Coach Eddie Jordan, Assistant Coach Aaron McKie and me.

At this time, both parties remain non-committal regarding a final decision and we will continue to discuss internally whether or not to pursue this course.   We want to thank Allen, Leon and Gary for taking the time to meet with us today. The Sixers will have no further comment at this time and further updates will be provided as they become available.
