Iverson out with the flu

Iverson recently missed three games with a sprained left shoulder, but has led the Sixers in scoring in each of the four games since his return. He was listed on the team’s injury report as questionable for Monday’s game because of the shoulder.

Iverson, who is averaging 28.8 points a game, is also among the league leaders in assists and steals.

Monday’s game is the sixth missed by the 6’0" All-Star this season. Besides the three games he missed late last month, Iverson sat out a November 21 contest against Miami with an elbow contusion and was unable to go against Minnesota on January 7 due to a right ankle injury.

The Sixers are 1-4 without Iverson this season heading into the game with the Nets.
