Iverson issues an apology for missing Dallas event.

Ice Cube's Big3 League rolled into the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas this past weekend for Week 6, but Allen Iverson was no where to be found.

Iverson, who coaches team 3's Company, was expected to be in the building and did not inform the league that he'd be MIA for the Dallas event which featured a crowd of more than 15,000 people.

As a result, the Big3 League has suspended A.I. for one game.

Iverson issued an apology yesterday afternoon, but it's still unclear why he skipped out on the trip to Dallas. In the statement, Iverson said,

"First and foremost, I apologize to Ice Cube & my BIG3 family, my fans and everyone disappointed by my absence in Dallas this past weekend."

According to TMZ, Iverson was spotted at a casino in Chicago early Sunday morning, hours before the Week 6 Big3 games were about to get underway.
