Allen Iverson will start for the Philadelphia 76ers in their home game against Denver and also the whole season, said Philadelphia coach Eddie Jordan on Monday. Iverson will play his first game with Philadelphia since 2006 against Denver Nuggets, one of three teams he played for after leaving Philadelphia, on Monday night.

"I feel like I am home," Iverson said at shoot around. "Just seeing people I'm accustomed to seeing, seeing the reporters, seeing some of the fans when I go out to eat. Just the smell of Philadelphia when I go outside."

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson gestures during a news conference announcing his return to the 76ers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania December 3, 2009.

Iverson's not sure how many minutes he can play because of his limited basketball activity over the past year. His stint in Detroit was cut short with a back injury and he played only three games for Memphis this season.

Iverson said he has some concerns about playing in game condition.

"If I can't get my scoring on like I want to, I just want to do other things on the basketball court that will help us win," Iverson said.

The Sixers have lost nine straight games and hope Iverson can lead them back into the win column. He'll play against Denver.

Iverson, traded to the Nuggets in December 2006, always considered Philly home and dreamed of a return to the team he led to the 2001 NBA finals.
