Iverson will not return to Sixers
by Eric Schwartz
The second marriage between Allen Iverson and the Sixers is over. My guess is that Iverson’s career is as well.
Siting personal reasons, Iverson will not be returning to the team.
The following is an excerpt from Associated Press writer Dan Gelston:
The Philadelphia 76ers have said goodbye to A.I.
Allen Iverson’s second stint with the team he once led to the NBA finals ended Tuesday when the Sixers announced he would not return for the rest of the season.
Iverson has mostly been absent from the team for a month, returning to Atlanta to be with his family as they deal with an undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah.
Iverson, who returned as a free-agent to the 76ers in December, has not played since Feb. 20.
“After discussing the situation with Allen, we have come to the conclusion that he will not return to the Sixers for the remainder of the season, as he no longer wishes to be a distraction to the organization and teammates that he loves very deeply,” team president Ed Stefanski said. “It has been very difficult for Allen and the team to maintain any consistency as he tries to balance his career with his personal life.”
The second marriage between Allen Iverson and the Sixers is over. My guess is that Iverson’s career is as well.

While Iverspn’s second stint with the Sixers was virtually meaningless, his prior impact still makes him one of the greatest athletes to come through Philadelphia.
We wish him and his family the best in the future.
