Allen Iverson could be back in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform as early as next Monday night.
Two sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that the Sixers are indeed targeting Monday's home game against the Denver Nuggets -- another of Iverson's former teams -- if they go forward with what appears to be a growing intent to bring back their controversial franchise icon.
Ironically I already had tickets for this game as of about two weeks ago. I've yet to see the Nuggets live, so for my first time I have to admit that I'm pretty psyched to see them in Philly. Now, if AI returns on that night, all the better.
Maybe.
Obviously I'll be the odd man out in Philly which is, safe to say, a city where I've never once rooted for the home team in any of the four sports I've attended. So perhaps this is just another chance for some of the old school fans to come back out again or maybe an opportunity for a few of those fans who buy into the media hype just to say they were there for his return.
I'm interested in what you guys are thinking/have to say about the probability of this match up. I know we all missed out on the opportunity to see him lose back on Nov 1 since he was still out with an injury, so I'd like to see him make good on that.
Or it could all amount to nothing and AI will still be homeless by next Monday.
Either way I'll be there in my Melo alternate jerz hoping that AI makes his return and the Nugs smoke him and the Sixers.
