Allison Mathis: Booked on Basketball Wives!

Goodbye Royce Reed, hello Allison Mathis?

Sources connected with VH1's Basketball Wives tell TMZ that Chris Bosh's baby mama is likely to replace Dwight Howard's baby mama on this mis-named reality show.

Mathis reportedly underwent a rigorous, three-round interview process before landing the gig. But producers decided she was worthy of a spot on season three due to her baby-related baggage:

In 2009, Allison engaged in a lengthy paternity payment battle with the Miami Heat power forward. It grew ugly at times, but was actually handled in a far more mature manner than the way in which LeBron James spurned the Cavs.
