Philadelphia 76ers coach Eddie Jordan says no one has talked to him about bringing back Allen Iverson.

Jordan downplayed reports Sunday of Iverson possibly returning to the city where he became an NBA superstar, saying he hasn’t spoken to the recently retired guard and added that the Sixers are not seriously looking at any free agents.

“It’s something that’s probably more in the media than it actually is,” Jordan said. “We’re just going about our daily operation of practicing and trying to win a game. But certainly I have not talked to anybody about Allen Iverson.”

After yesterday’s 76ers practice, assistant coaches Randy Ayers and Jim Lynam took a few minutes with the big men, going over the finer details of guarding the pick-and-roll.
Samuel Dalembert asked a few questions, Elton Brand nodded.


The Sixers are in need of sharpening such skills after Wednesday night’s lopsided, season-opening loss to the Orlando Magic.

The Sixers now play the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in their home opener at the Wachovia Center. It will be the first game for the Bucks, who are led by speedy point guard Brandon Jennings, the team’s first-round pick in the 2009 NBA draft.

The Sixers flew home from Orlando with widened eyes: They trailed by as many as 31 points, and allowed the Magic 70 points in the first half and 16 made three-pointers.

During the early days of training camp, as new Sixers coach Eddie Jordan was able to oversee all the parts that he had inherited, one thing really stood out.

It was the overall play of Rodney Carney, whom the team brought back via free-agent signing. Jordan gushed of Carney’s athleticism, his ability to get out on the fastbreak, his capability to hit open jumpers and his hounding defense.

Then, as the Sixers held an intrasquad scrimmage in front of season-ticketholders at Saint Joseph’s, Carney tweaked his left hamstring. It was so slight, he was back on the practice floor 2 days later. Then, toward the end of practice during a scrimmage, he hurt it worse while driving to the basket for a reverse layup.

Eddie Jordan understands that the Princeton offense isn’t always going to be productive for the 76ers.


The second quarter of Tuesday night’s eventual 93-85 preseason victory over the Knicks was a prime example.

The 4-0 Sixers committed an astounding 14 turnovers while scoring just 13 points in a period in which they gave up 28 points.

What bothered Jordan more than the Sixers’ offensive struggles was a “lack of energy issues and behavior issues that we want to keep to ourselves,” he said after Wednesday’s practice.

Elton Brand hit a 12-foot jumper with 7 seconds remaining to lift the Philadelphia 76ers past the New Jersey Nets 93-92 in an exhibition game Friday night.

Marreese Speights scored 16 points, Lou Williams added 15 and Brand and Andre Iguodala had 13 each for the Sixers, who improved to 3-0 in the preseason for the first time since 2004. The Sixers registered consecutive wins over Toronto earlier in the week.

Jason Kapono scored 11 points and Thaddeus Young had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers.

Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 20 points, Brook Lopez added 18 and Terrence Williams had 12 for the Nets, who fell to 0-2 in the preseason.

As they scrimmaged at the end of yesterday’s 76ers practice, forwards Elton Brand and Jason Smith looked a little sick of each other.

Brand, guarded by Smith, fought for position on the low block. A second later, after the pair ricocheted off each other, play was stopped.

It has been only a week since the Sixers opened training camp, but that’s more than enough practice time to wish for a game instead. Tonight, the Sixers have one, the first of their three-week-long preseason schedule.

They play the Toronto Raptors at the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario. Tomorrow, they play the Raptors again, this time at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

The Sixers practiced yesterday at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine for the first time this season. They finished training camp at St. Joseph’s University on Saturday night.

“We got a little physical. . . . It kind of got ugly out there, so, yeah, we’re ready to play someone else,” said Brand, who will see game action for the first time since having season-ending shoulder surgery in early February.

Brand said he was eager for tonight’s game.

With each selection of the NBA draft, the 76ers knew they were that much closer to landing Jrue Holiday, a projected lottery pick, at the 17th spot.

Earlier in the night, general manager Ed Stefanski said, he had debated moving up for Holiday, the 6-foot-4, 19-year-old point guard from UCLA whom most analysts considered a top-10 pick. Stefanski soon realized that Holiday might last without the team’s improving its position. And he did. “As it got further and further in the draft, there was a comfort level,” Stefanski said. What kind of player is Holiday? The scouting report says he will need a year or two to develop, but has the height, reach, and court vision to become a starting point guard in the NBA.
