Iverson comes off bench
November 29, 2008, 6:22 AM /
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Allen Iverson scored 17 points in his first game as a reserve this season, leading the Detroit Pistons to a 107-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.
Iverson was benched by Pistons coach Michael Curry to begin the game, punishment for missing a mandatory team practice on Thanksgiving. He apologized Friday morning, then sat on the bench for almost 10 minutes as Rodney Stuckey started instead.
“First of all, I have no excuses,” Iverson said after Detroit’s shootaround before the game. “It was a personal matter, but I just handled it the wrong way. I didn’t call and let them know what was going on.”
