"In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will sideline him for close to eight weeks, we felt that Allen was the best available free agent guard to help us at this time," team president Ed Stefanski said
Iverson has been traded around the league several times in recent years including stints in Denver, Detroit and most recently, Memphis.
