Pistons guard Allen Iverson has apologized for missing a team practice on Thursday, but didn't reveal why he was absent.

"First of all, I have no excuses. I apologize to my teammates, first and foremost, the coaching staff, the organization and definitely our fans," Iverson said Friday morning. "It's something that shouldn't have happened and it won't happen again.

"It was a personal matter, but I just handled it the wrong way," Iverson continued. "I didn't call and let them know what was going on."

Detroit coach Michael Curry has already stated that Iverson will not be in the starting lineup against Milwaukee on Friday night.
