Allen Iverson returns to Philly

At 7pm tonight, Allen Iverson returns to the city that drafted him. That’s right, Iverson takes the court again at the Wachovia Center as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. He’ll be facing the team that they traded him to, the Denver Nuggets.

According to head coach Eddie Jordan, Iverson will start.

“I told him for 14 years I heard how you hate coming out of the game. Now they’re telling me you’ve got to get him out if he’s tired,” Jordan said at Monday’s shootaround, laughing. “He’s going to tell me. The first time I’m coaching Allen Iverson, I am not taking him out until he tells me.”

Iverson hasn’t played basketball in like a month. We can’t see anyway he plays 40+ minutes.
