Allen Iverson has been told to rest his ailing back by doctors, and the injury coupled with a demotion to the bench could mean that he's played his final game for the Pistons.

Iverson, 34, will become a free agent at the end of the season.

Detroit, 31-30, has a loose grip on the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with roughly 20 games left.

Doctors suggested earlier this week that Iverson rest his back for two weeks; he will then be re-evaluated.
