Iverson sidelined with knee injury

Iverson underwent an MRI exam on Monday and the results were negative. He has been diagnosed with right knee synovitis.

The three-time scoring champion will sit out Monday’s contest versus Milwaukee and Tuesday’s game versus Chicago. He will then be a game-time decision for the March 12 encounter with the Knicks.

In 45 games this season, Iverson is averaging 27.0 points, 6.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per contest.
