Update: Iverson finished with 18 points and eight assists during Denver's loss to Utah on Wednesday and still appeared to be grimacing with pain, the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Iverson, who had knee and ankle problems in the preseason doesn't seem to have fully recovered. "I'm sure (Iverson's) hurting a little bit, but I thought he was very solid," Karl said. "The courage of our team was very obvious - but I don't know if we played very well." The club cannot afford to lose Iverson for a long stretch so expect them to keep him out of practices for awhile to see if that helps alleviate the problem. If it doesn't he could be sat down for an extended period.
