Wife of Iverson seeks divorce

Allen Iverson's wife filed for divorce this week, the same day Philadelphia announced the veteran guard would miss the remainder of the NBA season.

Tawanna Iverson said their eight-year marriage is "irretrievably broken", in papers filed on Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court.

She is seeking full custody of the couple's five children, child support and alimony. The couple's youngest child is 17 months old and the oldest is 15 years old.
