Hooped Up

After playing 19 games in Denver, Nuggets guard Allen Inverson will miss his first game Wednesday night.

Iverson, who joined the Nuggets after a trade on Dec. 18, sprained his right ankle Monday night in the first half of a 105-101 loss to Charlotte. He continued to play, finishing with 31 points.

He did not travel with the team for Wednesday night’s game in Portland.
