Allen Iverson Struggling Against Alcohol and Gambling Problems

 

Allen Iverson, from the Philadelphia 76ers, is going to sit out for the rest of the season because his four-year-old daughter is sick with an undisclosed illness and he wishes to tend to her. However, sports columnist Stephen A. Smith says otherwise.

According to Smith, sources say that Iverson has struggled with gambling addiction and alcohol problems, having already been banished from multiple casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City. The problems go further, with Iverson“s wife wanting a divorce.
