PHILADELPHIA: Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers are closer to a reunion.

A person with knowledge of the contract talks says the Sixers offered a one-year, non-guaranteed contract to Iverson on Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract talks had not been made public.

Iverson, his agent and business manager met team president Ed Stefanski, coach Eddie Jordan and two other members of the organization on Monday during the first formal meeting between the Sixers and their former MVP.
