Allen Iverson Will Not be with the Sixers this Season
Allen Iverson will not be with the whole 76ers team this season. He wants to be with his 4-year old daughter, Messiah who is now suffering from an illness. Messiah is in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the doctors are still working to find out what might be the cause of the girl’s illness. Iverson already missed his last five games, and because of his in-and-out of the lineup, the officials decided to have a permanent break with A.I. According to a source, Eddie Jordan, 76ers coach told his team that Iverson may not have a chance to be on their team. Iverson didn’t attend the All Star Game even though he was voted by fans to be one of the starters for the Eastern Conference.
On a statement by the Sixers General Manager Ed Stefanski released last Monday afternoon he said that, “At this time, we feel that it is in the best interest of the Sixers, Allen and his family that he be allowed to deal with a very serious issue that is far greater than the game of basketball”.
