Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars announced earlier today that thee Detroit Pistons’ guard Allen Iverson will miss the remainder of the season. The all-star guard missed 16 games between February 27 and March 28 after exiting a game at New Orleans with a sore back on February 25.
“After talking with Allen and our medical staff, we feel that resting Allen for the remainder of the season is the best course of action at this time,” said Dumars. “While he has played in our last three games, he is still feeling some discomfort and getting him physically ready to compete at the level he is accustomed to playing this late in the season does not seem possible at this point.”
There was also a bit of drama going on a few days ago after Iverson had returned from his injury. He had been complaining because he was given a bench role. Iverson was unhappy playing off the bench as he believed that he should be starting.
