Coverage of Hoya sports.
Is that your final Answer?
When Allen Iverson signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies just before the season began, no one expected him to turn back the clock and play like the All-Star he once was, or to lead the team out of its perpetual troubles. But surely most people thought the ill-formed marriage would last longer than this: after just three games, the former Hoya guard skipped the Grizzlies’ game last Saturday against the Clippers to fly back to his home in Atlanta for “personal reasons.” Iverson had to handle a family matter, but now he is taking an indefinite leave of absence. He isn’t injured, sick, or unfit to play—he just doesn’t want to come off the bench.
