PHILADELPHIA -- NBA scoring leader Allen Iverson probably
will play despite a sprained right ankle when the Philadelphia
76ers face the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Iverson, averaging 28.9 points, missed Friday's game against
Minnesota as the 76ers finished a road trip in which they went 5-3.
He injured the ankle in the first quarter against Utah on Wednesday
night but played the rest of the game. Iverson, also bothered by the flu and a bruised left shoulder,
averaged 31 points in seven games. The 76ers haven't played at home since Dec. 20.
