The 76ers delighted fans with the prospect of bringing back the iconic black jerseys once donned by Allen Iverson. But sources say they aren't coming back to the hardwood just yet.
One week after star point guard Tyrese Maxey signed a 5-year, $204-million maximum contract extension with the 76ers, the team shared video of a tribute they organized to show the Philly favorite just how loved he is.The 76ers posted a YouTube video on Sunday entitled, "For the Franchise," showing the exhibition that celebrated his most memorable moments in Philadelphia.
Sources with the organization told FOX 29 they were formulating plans to bring the threads back, but they would not return during the 2024-25 NBA season. A blown-up SLAM Magazine cover of Maxey donning the iconic jersey often associated with franchise icon Allen Iverson turned heads at the ceremony, as well as the showcase of Maxey’s many honors including his All-Star weekend highlights and 2019 McDonald’s All-American ring.
