UNDATED (AP) — Allen Iverson has turned down an opportunity to return to basketball with the Dallas Mavericks' Development League affiliate.

Iverson posted a series of tweets explaining his decision. The 2001 NBA MVP with the Philadelphia 76ers, says the D-League is not the route for him.

Iverson also writes that he realizes his actions contributed to his early departure from the NBA. The 37-year-old Iverson has not played in the NBA since the 2009-10 season. He had a brief stop with a professional team in Turkey and has played exhibition games in China.

NEW YORK (AP) — Executive director Billy Hunter has fired his daughter and daughter-in-law from the NBA players' association. The firings come less than two weeks after a review criticized his hiring practices.

In a letter to the union's special committee of players, dated Jan. 23, Hunter informed them that Robyn Hunter was to be let go as of Jan. 25. Megan Inaba will stay on through the All-Star break to help coordinate activities in Houston before leaving her job on Feb. 17.

Hunter also states in the letter, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, that the NBPA will no longer work with Prim Capital, the banking firm that employs Hunter's son, Todd.
