Allen Iverson has returned to the 76ers after missing five games to tend to his ill daughter.

The guard is expected to play against the Heat on Tuesday night.

He practiced on Monday for the first time since Feb. 2. Iverson said doctors still aren't sure what is wrong with his 4-year-old daughter.

"It was tough to leave her and my wife and kids," Iverson said.

"But I do have a commitment and an obligation to be with my team and to do my job. But it is rough. I think this is the only thing I do in life where for a couple hours during the game I don't think about nothing but [basketball]."
