- Byeverson: We hardly knew ye, A.I., but we sure felt your impact.
The Memphis Grizzlies officially severed ties with AWOL Allen Iverson this afternoon, announcing the mutual decision to end the relationship with a the following statement this afternoon:
The Memphis Grizzlies today released the following statement from General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace.
“The Grizzlies and Allen Iverson have come to a mutual agreement that because of personal matters that forced him to leave the team on November 7, Allen will step away from the game at this time, allowing him to focus on those matters.
“As a result, we will be ending our contractual agreement with Allen, which will allow both parties to move forward. We wish Allen the best.”
The initial read around the country was that no other team would have interest in Iverson, but it looks like there may be one exception: The New York Daily News’ Frank Isola is reporting that the New York Knicks management will look to meet with Iverson to explore a potential signing.
