If you had an old Allen Iverson jersey from when he played in Philadelphia, well get it out of the attic because Iverson just signed with the 76ers, the NBA franchise that drafted him No.1 overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft out of Georgetown.

The 76ers president Ed Stefanski announced the signing on the team’s website on Wednesday as the 10-time All-Star is expected to make his debut with his first team at home against the Denver Nuggets the team he was traded to on Monday.

The Philadelphia 76ers have met with their former superstar guard Allen Iverson to discuss the possibility of a return to the NBA for the 10-time All-Star who recently announced he was retiring from the NBA.

According to ESPN.com, NBA guard and All-Star player Allen Iverson is planning to retire from the game of basketball since on suitor has come out to sign him when he cleared waivers.

ESPN is reporting per Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and nationally syndicated radio host Stephen A. Smith that Iverson, through his representatives have informed him [Smith] of the former Philadelphia, Denver, Detroit and Memphis guard’s intentions to retire from the NBA.

The return of Allen Iverson will not come via the New York Knicks, according to sources within the organization.

After debating whether or not to add Iverson to the team after he cleared waivers, the Knicks have decided not to add the four-time NBA scoring champion. Iverson would have been offered a one-year deal by the team, but now he remains a free agent.

"We are definitely not pursuing him anymore," the Knicks source said.

Though the Commercial Appeal reported on Monday that Memphis Grizzlies guard Allen Iverson is contemplating retiring from the NBA, the Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley has mentioned that he is not sure of what Iverson’s future plans are; it might not include retirement.

For Iverson to retire from basketball when he can still play for some teams in the league would be an injustice to arguably the toughest smallest man to single-handedly carry a team to an NBA Finals in the history of the league.

“I’m not in Allen’s head. I don’t know what he’s thinking,” Heisley mentioned to AP.

The Memphis Grizzlies have worked hard to bring in a lot of talent that have the opportunity to help the team win now and build for the future. Despite this, the Grizzlies are having trouble keeping players that have been a part of the team’s success happy and wanting to play in Memphis.
