Eddie Jordan

Howard Eskin of NBC-10 in Philadelphia reported on Sunday night that the 76ers will fire coach Eddie Jordan after the season.

76ers general manager Ed Stefanski would not respond to the rumor.

Allen Iverson

Multiple NBA sources say Allen Iverson is facing alcohol and gambling issues that have derailed his career.

There is widespread concern that the four-time NBA scoring champion, who left the Philadelphia 76ers in late February to deal with his daughter’s illness and will not return this season, “will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away,” according to a report.

Iverson’s gambling problem is serious enough that he has been banished from casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City, N.J.

Allen Iverson will not return to the 76ers this season, a source close to the team said after a 126-105 loss to the Orlando Magic last night.

An official announcement is expected from the Sixers within the next two days.

Iverson has not played with the team since a Feb. 20 loss to the Bulls in Chicago, when he left to care for his sick 4-year-old daughter.

Allen Iverson is going to miss the next three games with the Philadelphia 76ers due to an undiagnosed illness of his four-year-old daughter, Messiah.

He already missed two weeks earlier in the year due to the sickness. The Sixers are calling his leave indefinite.

“At this time, we feel that it is in the best interest of the Sixers, Allen and his family that he be allowed to deal with a very serious issue that is far greater than the game of basketball,” Sixers president and general manager Ed Stefanski said.

Some are thinking this could be it for Iverson and the Sixers, though. Sources reported yesterday that some in the organization are ready to send Iverson packing.

Tracy McGrady

Tracy McGrady would love to play for the 76ers, according to Stephen A. Smith.

Smith wrote a column in the Philadelphia Inquirer on the status of the 76ers, saying they should focus on a high draft pick and forget about winning this season.

“I’d love to finish this season in Philadelphia,” McGrady told Smith.

Andre Iguodala

The Suns are looking to deal Amare Stoudemire and they also have serious interest in 76ers forward Andre Iguodala.

Philadelphia will listen to offers for Iguodala, but they are not believed to be actively shopping him.

An NBA source told CSN Philly that “Phoenix desperately wants Andre. They are pushing this. That I know for a fact.”

One possible deal would send Stoudemire to Philadelphia for Iguodala and center Samuel Dalembert.

Andre Igoudala

With the 76ers struggling Andre Iguodala’s name has been mentioned in trade rumors, but it appears as though GM Ed Stefanski would have to be really impressed with an offer to deal him.

“Do we want to trade Andre Iguodala? No,” the GM said. “But will we talk if people want to talk about him? Sure. It’s just like if we talk to another team about another player. It’s the same way.

“Where we are right now sitting, we don’t have a lot that I would say is hot, but it’s still plenty of time even though it’s still a little over 2 weeks away. Things could heat up.”
