PrintWell that didn't take too long to deflate the premiere of the new blue and gold squad.
Mike Wells, of the Indianapolis Star, tweeted this afternoon that Indiana Pacers star forward Danny Granger is now listed as doubtful for Wednesday's season-opening contest at Atlanta. Granger, who missed the past two days of practice, is reportedly nursing a bone bruise in his heel.
Granger joins veteran Jeff Foster as the only players questionable for the team's first outing of the season. The injury bug has struck just about every player on the roster at some point during the summer or preseason. If Granger and Foster are dressed in street clothes, they will join injured rookie Tyler Hansbrough and the recovering Mike Dunleavy. Granger played in 67 games last season.
I'm thinking that Granger won't let a bone bruise stop him from playing tomorrow night. But I also saw what appeared to be a horse mounting a cow when I was driving through the rural roads of Johnson County this morning. So, anything is possible. Stay tuned for more updates.

Well...
I’m sure the horse mounting a cow was a vision telling you that maybe weird things indeed happen. Maybe Danny is just resting.

Only in Indiana
Does our best player possibly miss the opener and its compared to a horse mounting a cow. I was depressed when i started reading the story and couldn’t help laughing at the end. Ok, I’m depressed again…
What the heck is the deal with Hansbrough?
He’s been shut down forever and nobody is saying anything about it. It’s freaking weird.
Hey guys
I’m doing a PASPN league, and I have the Pacers, so some input on a lineup for tomorrow would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Things could be worse. We could have kept Boylan.
how is this training staff still employed
their job is to keep the team healthy. How many of the pacers are currently healthy and there has yet to be a real game played? This is growing to be the trend year after year. And the worst part is the majority of injuries the pacers have are “invisible” injuries that fans find out via a press release which tells me the trainers simply arent doing their jobs and need to be rid of. At this point i would rather have seans above mentioned horse be the trainer for this team than its current format.

I agree
It always seems like the Pacers have more strains, sprains, stress fractures, and downright undiagnosable injuries than any other team I’ve seen. The job of the training staff is to make sure the players are properly warming up, cooling down, and stretching out so that these kinds of things don’t happen.
Hansbrough should have never been in summer league if he was still suffering from the same shin problems that plagued him in college. I put this on the training staff as well.
He'll play
He just has to play. He’s not someone who will sit out with a bruised foot. Even if it means he misses a couple games to early to recover properly, he won’t miss the season opener and the home opener. He’ll play.
