Allen Iverson rejoining 76ers

Allen Iverson is rejoining the Philadelphia 76ers and is expected to make his debut Monday at home against the Denver Nuggets.



Iverson\'s brief retirement is over, after signing a free-agent contract with Philadelphia today, three years after their acrimonious split led to his trade and seemingly ended any chance of his return.



The Sixers needed a replacement once they lost starting point guard Lou Williams, who\'s expected to miss eight weeks after jaw surgery.



Williams, who averaged 17.4 points and 5.1 assists, broke his jaw in a loss to Washington on November 24.



The 34-year-old Iverson announced his retirement last week after a stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. The ten-time All-Star was NBA MVP in 2001, when he led the Sixers to the NBA finals.
