The Grizzlies remained Friday where they have been all summer with regard to Allen Iverson: In a holding pattern.
Another day passed without receiving an answer on whether Iverson would accept a one-year offer to play in Memphis this season.
The Griz expected Iverson, 34, to decide before the weekend. But the free-agent guard apparently needs more time even though the Grizzlies have expressed strong interest in him since July.
Memphis offered Iverson at least $3.5 million or what it has remaining under the salary cap. The Griz could increase the offer to about $4.4 million should it renounce its rights to Spanish guard Juan Carlos Navarro. The deal still is less than the $5 million Memphis originally considered paying Iverson to play a reserve role.
