Michael Heisley hopes for Allen Iverson’s return

Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley says he is not sure what Allen Iverson’s future plans are, though he hopes Iverson returns to the team soon.

Heisley granted the 10-time All-Star permission Saturday for an indefinite leave to deal with a personal matter. The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported Monday that Iverson is contemplating retirement.

Heisley told the Associated Press on Monday that he doesn’t know what’s in Iverson’s head.
