NBA star, Allen Iverson, was hit with a lawsuit recently, stemming from an incident last April in Detroit, where a man was allegedly
assaulted by a member of the player's security detail.

According to the Detroit Free Press, Guy Walker filed a lawsuit recently claiming he suffers from "severe pain, emotional distress and mental anguish" due to injuries he suffered during an altercation with Iverson's crew at a local nightspot called South Beach Pizza Bar back in April 2008.

Walker claims a man named Antwuan Clisey, who was working as a member of Iverson's security detail, initiated an unprovoked attack that cleared the bar, and Iverson did nothing to stop it.

He says he suffered "an orbital blowout fracture of the eye" as well as other injuries.

Walker is seeking $2.5 million, plus damages, in the suit.

Iverson is currently a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, who he signed with in December after he went through a very short retirement when he was waived by Memphis Grizzles over his role on the team.

In other Iverson news, he will miss the team's next game (February 10th against Toronto) due to personal elated to an illness being suffered by one of his children.

He is set to return for the Sixer's first game following the All-Star break.
