TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Memphis Grizzlies

by Matt SteinmetzFiled under: GrizzliesSACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Allen Iverson made his debut for the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night in Sacramento, and for someone who hasn't played in a month or so, it wasn't too bad of one. Iverson, returning from a partial left hamstring tear, had 11 points in 18 minutes in the Memphis' 127-116 overtime loss. He said the hamstring felt fine. But it was another part of his body that Iverson wasn't feeling so good. "I had no problems (with the hamstring)," Iverson said afterward. "I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long. That's the only thing I got a problem with."Iverson Returns, Unhappy About Role originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:15:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds.
