Moses Malone, who won the NBA's most valuable player award as a member of the world champion Philadelphia 76ers in 1983, could be back in a red, white and blue uniform next season.
The Philadelphia Daily News reported Friday that Sixers officials have spoken to the 38-year-old Malone about the possibility of rejoining the team. Malone, an unrestricted free agent, was in Philadelphia on Wednesday.Malone spent the last two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, but appeared in just 11 games last season after undergoing back surgery. Malone previously played for the 76ers from 1982-86.
The Sixers are searching for rebounding help, and could also view Malone as a mentor for 7-foot-6 center Shawn Bradley, their first-round draft choice.
