Iverson, who has missed the past three games, was evaluated today at Georgetown after an initial MRI exam last week revealed no structural damage.
He won't travel with the team to try to prevent stress on his back and will be re-evaluated by Georgetown doctors after two weeks.
Iverson will begin treatment for his back after he returns to Detroit today. The Pistons want him to be completely at ease when he returns.
“We want him to be totally comfortable with how he feels as we would with all our guys,” coach Michael Curry said before Tuesday's victory against the Denver Nuggets.
Iverson, who is averaging 18 points per game, has not played since leaving the floor after eight minutes in the Pistons' Feb. 25 loss at New Orleans. Rip Hamilton has averaged 25.7 points in the three victories since replacing Iverson in the starting lineup. Hamilton was named the starter last Thursday, before it was announced Iverson would miss time.
The two-week timetable has Iverson missing another eight games, with a possible return for a home game against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 20.
