Grizzlies guard Allen Iverson could miss the team's season opener against the Pistons because of a partly torn hamstring.

Iverson admitted that there's a good chance the team's medical staff won't clear him for the game because of fears he's not completely healed.

"They're saying it's a possibility, but it's also a long shot," Iverson told the Associated Press. "You know that's one of the ones I definitely want to play."

He added that he won't be out long as his rehab progresses from the injury suffered in a scrimmage Oct. 4.
