NBA to scrap new composite ball for leather start Jan 1
The NBA will reinstate leather basketballs for the remainder of the 2006-07 season, citing overwhelmingly negative player feedback and hand-cutting issues with the microfiber composite ball. Spalding will supply 450 leather balls as the switch takes effect, with Stern acknowledging limited player input prior to the change.

Iverson Saga Wears on 76ers
Allen Iverson's nameplate was gone and his locker cleaned out as trade talk swirls. The Sixers, 81-79 losers to Portland, sit at eight straight losses with Iverson inactive for the third straight game while the team prepares to deal its franchise star. Coach Maurice Cheeks deflects questions as team president Billy King declines comment until a deal is made amid a deteriorating relationship following a practice blowup and a fined bowling outing.
