AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars announced today that 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."

Iverson returned to action on March 29 versus Philadelphia and scored eight points with two assists and two rebounds in 21 minutes. In his three games back since the initial injury, he has averaged 7.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.7 minutes per game.

Acquired by the Pistons from Denver on November 3, the 6-foot-0 guard has appeared in 54 games this season (50 starts) averaging 17.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 36.5 minutes per game.

He's not going to be here even if we make the playoffs. And we might start Kwame overe Sheed.
Man I hope we throw these last few games.

You guys fail to remember we started playing better without Iverson, then the injuries hit us..
We will make the playoffs, calm down.

As for the situation, sad to see him not be able to help us out. That ruined any chance at all we had at doing anything in the playoffs I assume.
At least I got to say I witnessed one of the best NBA players of our generation.

In other words: "Just sit the rest of this out Allen...we wouldn't want to jeopardize the big season you'll have somewhere else next year."

So is this no longer considered A.I. coming off the bench? Would he rather be shelved b/c of "injury" than come off the bench?

We will make the playoffs, but this does kill any chance of us making noise.

Bobcats have only 1 home game down the stretch here, a tough schedule.

Calm down..
