Iverson back Tuesday

This will be posted in a more complete version on detnews.com in a few minutes, but by all accounts, Allen Iverson should be healthy enough to play Tuesday against Denver.

Now, whether he has had enough time to wrap his mind around the idea of coming off the bench is another issue. Michael Curry said there was no correlation between Iverson going back to Detroit for further diagnosis on his back and the news that he was benched. But, come on. The MRI was clean. The back injury was a convenient excuse to get away and clear his head. No way did he want to answer questions about coming off the bench.

He did see a doctor in Detroit Saturday, and he told Curry and Arnie Kander that he was feeling better. So, we'll see what happens.
