Allen Iverson has missed four consecutive games to tend to his ill child, but the NBA still anticipates that he'll take part in Sunday's All-Star Game.

Iverson will not play against Toronto on Wednesday night.

"Our understanding is, he will still be an All-Star," league spokesman Tim Frank told the Philadelphia Daily News via e-mail.

A source familiar with the situation added that Iverson intends on making his 11th straight All-Star appearance.
