Iverson quits 76ers for Nuggets



Philadelphia's NBA superstar Allen Iverson is to leave the 76ers after 10 years and join the Denver Nuggets.

The trade will send forward Joe Smith, guard Andre Miller and two 2007 first-round picks to the 76ers for Iverson and forward Ivan McFarlin.

The 31-year-old guard has not played for six games after he asked to be traded nearly two weeks ago.
Philadelphia (5-18) have struggled so far this season, and only Memphis (5-19) have a worse record in the NBA.

Iverson, who had two years and $39m left on his contract after this season, was the 76ers' number one pick in the 1996 NBA draft.
