PHILADELPHIA – Allen Iverson and Chris Webber did not play because of injuries, did not show up in the locker room until tipoff, and missed the Philadelphia 76ers’ 91-88 win over the Nets last night.

The 76ers will fine Iverson and Webber for not being at the arena 90 minutes before the game against the Nets, and the duo might not make the trip to close out the season in Charlotte today.

Coach Maurice Cheeks had just finished calling Iverson the ultimate gamer when he was informed by a reporter about 55 minutes before tip that Philadelphia’s franchise player was not yet at the game, and neither was Webber.

So Cheeks left for the locker room, saw for himself the jerseys hanging in the locker, and returned to tell reporters the duo were “not going to play tonight.”

Team president Billy King said he knew at yesterday morning’s shootaround that Iverson and Webber would be given the home regular-season finale off because of injuries. But King did expect the Sixers’ leading scorers to be at the game. Iverson was to miss the game with an ankle injury, and Webber had a sore back.

“I’d like them to be here, hell yeah,” an agitated King said on the court about 45 minutes before tip. “They’re not and I’m going to take care of it.”

With reporters staked out awaiting the duo’s arrival, King walked by the horde minutes before tip and let loose with a profanity-laced rant when pressed again about their absence.

Iverson and Webber weren’t the only big names sitting this one out. With the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs already secured, the Atlantic Division champion Nets rested Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson.

Andre Iguodala had 27 points for the Sixers, Willie Green had 14, and Steven Hunter 10.For the Nets, Lamond Murray scored 19 points, Vince Carter had 16, and Jacque Vaughn added 13 assists.

The Sixers pulled ahead late in the fourth, getting one last fantastic Iguodala alley-oop for the home crowd and 3-pointers from Green and Kyle Korver to go up 83-75.

Murray sank two free throws that pulled the Nets to 87-84 with 2 minutes left. Iguodala, though, came out of a timeout and hit a 3-pointer. Bostjan Nachbar’s layup with 3.1 seconds left made it a one-point game, but again Iguodala delivered, this time with two free throws to seal the win.
