The Denver Nuggets postponed their game Wednesday night against Phoenix because of blizzard conditions, meaning Allen Iverson won't be a no-show in the team's first game since the trade that brought him to Denver.
Weather and other logistics kept Iverson from reaching Denver on Wednesday. He was expected to report Thursday and play his first game for the Nuggets on Friday night.
It's a big break for the Nuggets, who were facing the prospect of playing the Suns, on a 15-game winning streak, without Iverson, suspended Carmelo Anthony or Andre Miller, the starting point guard they dealt to Philadelphia to get Iverson.
A new date for the game had not immediately been determined. Though blizzard conditions paralyzed the Denver area, the postponement was somewhat unusual because the Suns, the officials and the Nuggets were all in town.
Three hours before the scheduled tip-off, workers were buzzing around the arena preparing for the game, but a big cheer could be heard in the hallways when official word came that the game was off.
