Nuggets guard Allen Iverson will miss Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers in Portland after spraining his right ankle.

Iverson was hurt in the Nuggets' 105-101 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday in Denver. X-rays were negative.

"I thought that when I did it in the first quarter it was going to go away," Iverson said on Monday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "I thought I just rolled it and that was that, but it continued to bother me throughout the game. It tightened up on me real bad when I came out in the fourth quarter."

Denver coach George Karl said Iverson didn't get on the court at all Tuesday at the morning shoot around before the team departed for Portland.
