WTF? Are you serious? Hahah.
That's going to make some news.
AI missed practice. Curry said AI won't start next game and may not even play
Good ol' AI!

I thought we were passed this A.I, I really did.
Did he just blow it off or did he have some kind of 'story'?
thanksgiving
I bet his teammates who were there love that excuse (if that's what it was)
Fantastic;

Allen Iverson was among the many Pistons players grumbling after the victory over the Knicks on Wednesday because coach Michael Curry called a practice for 10 a.m. Thanksgiving morning.
"I got to get up at 9 a.m. and practice on Thanksgiving," Iverson said.
Well, apparently not. Iverson was the only Piston to skip practice Thursday and that didn't go over too well with Curry.
Iverson Misses Practice
Pistons guard Allen Iverson missed practice on Thursday and will face a "hefty" fine, according to coach Michael Curry.
"I'm surprised when guys are late; I'm surprised when they don't show," Curry said. "It's a pretty hefty fine to be late, or to miss, and once again, it's accountability for yourself and your teammates."
Rodney Stuckey will start in Iverson's place on Friday against Milwaukee. Curry said he hadn't decided whether Iverson would play.

Iverson is nothing more than good player who will never be a champion.
He has way too much name recognition for the kind of athlete he is.
Any excuse for time off.
Thought Iverson was too old for this bull . Hope there's a reasonable explanation, but if there isn't, it's pretty sad he did this, on a new team that doesn't yet trust him anyway. Very bad. He needs to sit the next game.
I dont blame him
Curry can go himself
Yeah, poor guy making tens of millions of dollars has to get up on thanksgiving morning. There is no justice.
honestly pistons knew what kind of guy iverson is when they traded for him, maybe they should be fined. dude will never change he probably wont show up to his own funeral
tahts a damn shame.
you know several players had issues with the coach for having practice on a HOLIDAY
the coach for the pistons does not have the kind of respect to have a practice on a holiday
I also think ai should take action and see if he can get out of the fine for having practice on a holiday
the coach should be fired for having a practice on a holiday
what kind of a idiot has practice on a holiday
espn said several of the players were pissed at the coach
While I don't agree with it, if you're a player, you go to the practice and take it up with the coach and management in a more professional way. You don't just ditch out of practice. Especially, when you're new to the team, there are players on the team that don't yet trust you, the practice was primarily for the team to get more adjusted to you, you make millions of dollars to play the game, and you generally get 4-5 months off in the off season to spend time with your family. That it's a holiday is a poor excuse.
And, yes, the Pistons knew what they were getting when they made the trade, $21 million off the books next summer.
Yes there were other players on the team that were pissed that they had to practice. However, they all managed to show up.
what would your view be if portland had practice today and oden did not show up
it would never happen. He isn't a like AI.
I am not sure
I think David Robinson might have missed practice if they practiced on thanksgiving
or he would have went to the owner to tell the coach to cancel the practice
Meanwhile, Billups is quietly making the Nuggets a better team
Congrats Joe D
pistons were not winning a le without a trade
Maybe, but you've got to trade for the right player
