    [rquoter]Allen Iverson(notes) will not be with the Philadelphia 76ers on their current West Coast road trip, and there’s a strong movement within the organization to permanently break ties with him, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

    Iverson is with his family to deal with medical issues concerning his daughter, but his constant in-and-out of the lineup this season has led team officials to believe a permanent break is best for the organization. Sources said Iverson went to team officials over the weekend and said he needed to leave the team again.

    Sources say Sixers coach Eddie Jordan addressed the players on Sunday, and told them there’s a chance Iverson may not return to the team. However, Sixers ownership, general manager Ed Stefanski and Jordan haven’t sat down and formally come to that decision, but sources with knowledge of the Sixers plans believe the franchise is leaning in that direction.

    Iverson missed five games to be with his daughter from Feb. 3-10. He also didn’t attend the All-Star Game after being voted as a starter for the Eastern Conference. He returned to the Sixers after the break and had played in the team’s past three games, including a 122-90 loss in Chicago.[/rquoter]

    There is a law against this. If Iverson wanted to he could sue the 76ers and win or he could just take the money if he doesn't care.

    Maybe spending time with his daughter so is having medical problems is more important to him, who knows.

    Picturing Iverson in a Jazz jersey makes me happy.

    His little girl is sick and I guess the word is that they don't yet know what's wrong with her. The fact that it's distracting for AI is a supreme understatement.

    The negativity in this thread sucks.

    THIS!
    I am wondering what is going on.
    If this is BS and he using his daughter to lollygag . . ok I am pissed with him
    but
    If it is legit. . .
    Let's be real . .. the only thing that tears a parent away from a very sick child
    to goto work . . is a need to make ends meet. . . .
    If that is removed from the equation . .man ***** that job
    This is *MY* CHILD!!
