NEW YORK, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger will miss another week even though an MRI exam showed no new damage to his left knee, the team announced on Wednesday.
Granger missed the first 55 games of the season for the Pacers because of patellar tendinitis in his knee before making his
debut1 last month and playing in Indiana's past five games.
But Granger played only eight minutes last Sunday against Chicago before leaving the game with soreness in the knee, which he originally hurt against Miami last May in the second round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Pacers
decided2 that even with no new damage shown in an MRI exam, they want to rest Granger's knee before he returns to action.
He will miss games on Wednesday against Boston, Friday at Orlando and Sunday at Miami before being re-evaluated.
Granger, 29, averaged 18.1 points a game since being selected by Indiana in the first round of the 2005 NBA
Draft3 but has averaged only 5.4 points and 1.8
rebounds4 this season.
