Sixers +8???
- Thread starter Skipper
- Start date
On Tuesday, the Sixers star said he will skip a game to rest his knee.
"I always want to play and help my team. It wasn't a very smart move," Iverson said. "I'm not making excuses. I missed shots I usually make, but it wasn't me out there. Instead of helping my team right now, I've got to think more of helping in the future."
The Sixers - without forwards Derrick Coleman (left knee strain) and Glenn Robinson (left ankle strain) shot 32 percent and tied their second-lowest point total since the introduction of the shot clock in 1954-55. They scored 57 points at Miami in 1996 and 66 two other times, in 1955 and 1995.

Coleman and Robinson - each listed as day-to-day - may bounce back to start against the Raptors and give a much needed day of rest to Iverson, who leads the NBA with 28.4 points per game.
