Grizzlies Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:25:27 PST

Another day, another chapter in the Allen Iverson soap opera.

After playing Friday night's 114-98 loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles, Grizzlies guard Iverson left the team for his home in Atlanta to take care of some personal business.

Iverson met with Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley, who granted Iverson permission to leave. Heisley met with Iverson again on Saturday.

It has been an action-packed 2 1/2 weeks to open the season with Iverson. He missed all of the preseason with a partially torn hamstring, opened the season still recovering and then played in the next three games of the current five-game West Coast road trip before missing Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Though he has averaged 12.3 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 turnovers and 57 percent...
