The Indiana Pacers announced on Tuesday that forward Danny Granger is out indefinitely due to the continuing soreness that we talked about over the weekend. Granger is getting a second opinion, after which there will be an update. That kind of scenario tends to happen when a player is looking to avoid surgery, which isn't good for the Pacers.
The fact that it's a mystery ailment is also concerning because you tend to want resolution on what's wrong so you can start a treatment plan.
Granger is essential to the Pacers, whose strength is in their overall depth since they don't have a superstar player. Granger, about to start his eighth season, has struggled the past two seasons but still brings a tremendous amount to the table. If he's out long-term, this could have fairly disastrous consequences for Indiana. We'll keep you updated.
