By Wednesday, the 76ers must decide to either retain or waive Allen Iverson.
Last night, Sixers coach Eddie Jordan said he expected the 34-year-old point guard to remain with the team for the rest of the season.
In the NBA, partially guaranteed contracts such as Iverson’s become guaranteed Jan. 10, with a 48-hour waiver period preceding it. Because Jan. 10 falls on a Sunday, the date has been moved to Jan. 8, with teams needing to waive a player by the start of the 48-hour period – this Wednesday.
“Nothing is etched in stone,” Jordan said of retaining Iverson. “But I think it’s going to happen.”
