NBA notes

AROUND THE NBA
KNICKS: New York won't sign Allen Iverson , believing any short-term gain would hinder their plans to build for the future.
Team president Donnie Walsh said Friday the team won't make any additions at this time despite its 2-9 record. He added the decision to pass on the former MVP had nothing to do with Iverson's ability to play or his character in the locker room.
"I've always admired him," Walsh said. "I think he'd be a great addition for a team that's in a different position than we're in and I hope he gets picked up."

NETS: Guard Devin Harris is expected to play today, a sorely needed boost for winless New Jersey.
A team spokesman says Harris will come off the bench when the Nets (0-12) play host to the New York Knicks.

BUCKS: Center Andrew Bogut will be out two to four weeks after the former No. 1 pick was kicked in the left leg in a recent win.
Bogut said Friday night before Milwaukee played Charlotte that he had hoped he just had a charley horse bruise after he left a 99-85 victory over New Jersey on Wednesday. Bogut stayed in the game for several minutes after he was kicked, but the pain grew worse.
