Iverson noshows Big3 games in Dallas

-

DALLAS (AP) — Allen Iverson did not show up for the Big3's games in Dallas, and the league says it is investigat­ing his absence.

The former NBA MVP is the biggest star in Ice Cube's 3-on-3 league of former NBA players. Iverson signed on as a player and coach of Three's Company for the league's inaugural season.

He hasn't been playing very much — he didn't play at all in his much-hyped return to Philadelph­ia — and the league says in a statement it had no advance notice that Iverson wouldn't attend the game Sunday.

The league says it will make a statement once it has gathered all the facts surroundin­g Iverson's absence. DerMarr Johnson, the team's co-captain, took over the coaching duties Sunday.
