Nuggets guard Allen Iverson will miss Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers in Portland after spraining his right ankle.
Iverson was hurt in the Nuggets' 105-101 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday in Denver. X-rays were negative.
"I thought that when I did it in the first quarter it was going to go away," Iverson said on Monday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "I thought I just rolled it and that was that, but it continued to bother me throughout the game. It tightened up on me real bad when I came out in the fourth quarter."
Denver coach George Karl said Iverson didn't get on the court at all Tuesday at the morning shoot around before the team departed for Portland.

Allen Iverson's driving layup with 2:04 left in the second quarter of the Nuggets' 117-112 win at the Sonics on Jan. 23, 2007 made him the 30th NBA player to reach the 20,000-point plateau. He finished the game with 21 points and 10 assists. His 28.1 career scoring average ranks behind just Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain on the all-time list.
Iverson is one of just three active players in the club, joining a pair of Heat: Shaquille O'Neal and Gary Payton. The Nets' Clifford Robinson (19,471 career points) is the only other current player with a realistic chance to join their elite company this season.
Now in his 11th season, Iverson needed just 713 regular-season games to score his 20,015 points - that's the sixth fewest of those 30 players. Only Chamberlain, Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Elgin Baylor accomplished the feat faster.
