Philadelphia guard Allen Iverson had fluid drained from his left knee on Sunday, but plans to play on Monday night.

He didn't practice with his teammates following the procedure.

"I think that the left knee will feel a lot better being that I got it drained," Iverson said. "They said it was 55 cc's, and that's a lot, that's more than I ever had before. I think it all just stems from me starting so fast, not having the chance to practice or do any running, not playing for over a month and just jumping right into the fire."

In addition to the fluid in his knee, Iverson is dealing with a stress reaction in his right fibula.
