    Allen Iverson To Miss Detroit Trip

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Allen Iverson will miss the Philadelphia 76ers' game against former coach Larry Brown's Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night because of a right knee injury.

    Iverson, the NBA's leading scorer at 29.4 points per game, didn't travel to Detroit with the 76ers. He banged his knee during a 93-90 victory over Miami on Friday.

    Aaron McKie will start in Iverson's place against Detroit.

    Iverson could have a full week between starts, because Philadelphia's next game isn't until Friday against Denver.

    Unfortunatly. I dont know what, is it a curse. Here is what has been stated

    Derrick Coleman - out, left knee strain (game-time decision for 12/9 game at DET)
    Willie Green - out, right thumb strain (out for 12/9 game at DET))
    Marc Jackson - out, left ring finger fracture (out for 12/9 game at DET)
    Allen Iverson - out, right knee hematoma (will not travel for 12/9 game at DET)
    Eric Snow - out, attending NBAPA Meeting (probable starter for 12/9 game at DET)

    (Eric will play, not injured!)

    And the others were

    Monty Williams
    Todd Macculoch
    and Glenn Robinson Nothing was said about him. Strange guy. I hope he plays tommorow night. Probably wont.

    That leaves us...

    (My prediction of Starters)
    C Dalembert
    PF Thomas
    SF Salmons
    SG McKie
    PG Snow
    -------------
    Buckner
    McCaskill
    Korver

    And Glenn Robinson is unknown. Nine active players?! That is crazy! I dont know what the 76ers are going to do while that many players are out on the IL. Good luck 76ers tommorow night, we will need it.

    No kidding. I just was bored so simulated a game between the Pistons and the 76ers with updated rosters on NBA Live 2004. The score, 98-83. And yep you know who won it. THE PISTONS. Hope it would not turn out like that tommorow night. Team ball and defense is the key. Ben Wallace, who may be a defensive threat should not be scoring over 10 tommorow night. We need to contain him and especailly Rip and Chauncey. Chauncey and Rip are dangerous scorers, especially from the 3. If we get them into foul trouble, a key win is before us.

    Dont swallow those words yet! Sixers are up 32-31 at halftime. I know its low-scoring game, but hey, we are dominating Larry and Co. without three expeceted starters for the season. (Iverson, Jackson, Robinson)

    The Pistons players don't deserve to get paid after that game.

    Agreed. Every team has their bad nights. Look at the Nets and the Magic this season. They have continously had bad nights.

    Bad nights must be all about the Magic. 2-19. I think Good Nights will be more rare this season for Orlando [​IMG]

    I still don't think they'll reach the playoffs.
