Gonzaga forward Adam Morrison is expected to forgo his senior year and declare for the NBA draft, according to numerous media reports.

Morrison, a first-team All-America and the nation's leading scorer, has not commented on the reports, but has scheduled a press conference at Gonzaga for this afternoon.

His mother would not say if Morrison was turning pro.

"No comment," Wanda Morrison told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Spokane television stations KHQ, KREM and KXLY and FoxSports.com reported Monday night that Morrison had decided to turn pro. All cited unnamed sources. The Spokesman-Review and The Seattle Times both reported in Tuesday's editions that he would leave, also citing unnamed sources.

Gonzaga coach Mark Few did not return several telephone messages left by the AP.

Morrison, who averaged 28.1 points per game last season, is expected to be a first-round draft choice in the June 28 NBA draft. He has until April 29 to officially declare for the draft.

SIXERS TO FINE IVERSON, WEBBER: The Philadelphia 76ers will fine Allen Iverson and Chris Webber for not being at the arena 90 minutes before Tuesday night's game against the New Jersey Nets. The Sixers said Iverson and Webber did show up and were in the locker room when the game tipped off. Team president Billy King said he knew at Tuesday morning's shootaround that Iverson and Webber would be given the home regular-season finale off because of injuries. But King did expect the duo to be at the game.

ALSO: Miami Heat coach coach Pat Riley was not with the team for Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks, as he remained in upstate New York with his ailing mother.
