Iverson blames dentist for bowling blow-off
Allen Iverson, fined by the Philadelphia 76ers for skipping a bowling event with corporate sponsors and season-ticket holders, said Friday the effects of medicine after a dental procedure made him unable to attend.
He was fined an undisclosed amount for missing the event on Wednesday. He said the medicine “put me out” after having two abscessed teeth pulled. Iverson left practice Wednesday, complaining of fatigue.
Iverson said he was willing to accept the consequences of disappointing Sixers fans.
“I’m not too much worried about the fine as the fact I missed a team event,” Iverson said. “That’s the most important thing. But it’s been bothering me since I had the teeth pulled.”
