Owner: Iverson absence is indeed 'personal'
Allen Iverson - G - Memphis Grizzlies
Nov. 8, 2009 - 3:00 PM ET

Owner Michael Heisley came out and said that Allen Iverson's absence is indeed of a personal nature, and not related to his current playing situation.

"I'm not going to get into the personal reason but it has nothing to do with the other stuff," Heisley said. "I'm the guy who said he could go. It's a real family issue that I don't think should be reported." Heisley goes on to talk about the parties getting on the same page by saying, "he understands what the conditions are," and that "we need to be less hyper about this along with Allen." The problem is that most rumors point to Iverson being done with the team, and a trade is unlikely. It's possible we've seen A.I. on the court for the last time, but it's a bit too early to tell.
