Allen Iverson is back with the BIG3.

The 3-on-3 league has agreed to take the former NBA star back, but just as a coach, according to an announcement Monday.

The move comes just a few months after Iverson, who was a player-coach in the league last season, skipped one of the league's games without giving a reason.

It prompted the BIG3 to launch an investigation into his whereabouts, and it was later reported that Iverson was seen gambling in a casino the night before the game.

He apologized for the incident and promised to make it up to fans and the league's founder, rapper and actor Ice Cube.
