MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Former All-Star guard Allen Iverson wasn’t around Tuesday night as the Memphis Grizzlies returned home after a disappointing 0-5 road trip to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
Iverson, an off-season signee, left the Grizzlies last weekend for personal reasons. He received permission from Memphis owner Michael Heisley for the extended leave and reportedly returned home to Atlanta.
Memphis coach Lionel Hollins addressed the issue in a lengthy interview before the Portland game and, he is approaching the situation as if he is not returning “because who knows how long it is going to be.”
The absence means Memphis fans, who were excited by the September signing of the four-time NBA scoring champ, still have not seen Iverson in a Grizzlies home uniform.
