Manager: Iverson wants to play again

[June 21, 2010]  PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Allen Iverson plans to return to the NBA next season.

Gary Moore, Iverson's personal manager, says Iverson is working out and "absolutely" will try and play next season. Iverson returned to the Philadelphia 76ers in December and took a leave of absence in March because of family issues.

Moore says Iverson's ill daughter is now "doing very well."

Iverson also is filming a documentary on his life called "Deconstructing Allen Iverson."

Iverson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft and spent his first 10 seasons in Philadelphia. He won the MVP in 2001 when he led the Sixers to the finals.
