Iverson will be out two more weeks

Detroit Pistons guard Allen Iverson will be sidelined at least two more weeks because of a sore back.

He has been out three games already and Detroit is six games under .500 with him in the starting lineup.

Etc.

The Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Joe Smith, bringing the veteran forward back for another NBA title run. . . .
