DATELINE — Allen Iverson left the Iverson Five to rejoin the Denver Five on Thursday, his first practice with the team since the birth of his fifth child, Dream Alijha.
The highlight of the practice was Kenyon Martin’s highlight-reel dunk, in which he drove down the lane, faked a pass and tomahawked a dunk. When Martin landed, he stood still for a few seconds, soaking in the play. Opponent Juwan Howard cracked the silence, saying: “He traveled!”
The Nuggets open preseason play on Friday, at 7 p.m., at the Pepsi Center against Minnesota. Coach George Karl expects everyone to be suited up and ready except for Chucky Atkins (right knee) and Sonny Weems (groin strain).
As for how he’ll distribute minutes, Karl said, “I would say the top-10 would get 20 minutes or more, and another two or three guys 10-15 minutes.”
