Allen Iverson said he missed a team bowling function this week because of the effects of medicine he was taking after having two abscessed teeth pulled.
The Philadelphia 76ers fined Iverson for skipping the Wednesday night bowling function for corporate sponsors and season-ticket holders, but the former MVP said Friday he couldn't make it because the medicine "put me out."
Iverson left practice earlier Wednesday, complaining of fatigue, but 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."
