AROUND THE NBA
SPURS: Manu Ginobili is expected to miss about a week for San Antonio because of a strained left groin.
Ginobili and Tony Parker were both inactive for Thursday night's game against Utah.
Ginobili left the first quarter of Wednesday's overtime loss at Dallas and didn't return.
Parker re-aggravated a sprained left ankle in a loss Saturday against Oklahoma City and didn't play against the Mavericks.
ON THE MARKET: Allen Iverson has cleared waivers and is free to sign with any NBA team.
The former MVP was waived Tuesday after playing only three games with Memphis and no team claimed him in the following 48 hours, making him a free agent.
The Knicks are discussing whether they want to bring in the 34-year-old guard.
courts: Retired NBA star Jayson Williams agreed to a plea deal that would send him to prison for up to three years for accidentally shooting a driver at his New Jersey estate in 2002, a person with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on Thursday.
