Allen Iverson appears to have his priorities in order.

The superstar guard of the Nuggets said Tuesday he will use the All-Star break to rest his sprained right ankle, becoming the fourth member of the Western Conference team sidelined by injury.

Iverson has missed seven of Denver's last eight games due to the injury. He sprained his ankle January 29 against Charlotte and aggravated it Wednesday against New Orleans.

Selected as a reserve for his eighth straight All-Star Game, Iverson is concerned with getting healthy and teaming with fellow superstar Carmelo Anthony to help the Nuggets improve their standing in the Western Conference playoff race.
