Plaxico and Iverson: While we were away from our computer in the last few hours, the Giants released Plaxico and the Pistons said Allen Iverson’s done for the season with a sore back. Likely story, Dumars. Less than 24 hours later, Iverson said, “I’m in a position now that I’ve never been in my whole life. It’s harder than I thought it would be. With the back injury, I have to sit out at the start, then go in, then sit again. It’s tough to really get going. I take my hat off to the guys who can come off the bench and be effective. It’s tough for me. I’m struggling with it. I’d rather retire before I do this again.”
