I'm surprised no one's said anything yet. This is from ESPN.com

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers All-Star Danny Granger will miss up to three weeks with a partial tendon tear in the sole of his right foot, the team said Thursday.

Danny

An MRI conducted Thursday in Minneapolis revealed the tear. The injury occurred in the first half of Wednesday night's game at Charlotte.

Granger pulled up after a Charlotte turnover and came out of the game during a timeout with 10:50 left in the quarter.

"That last shot I took right before I left the game, it felt like something popped in my foot," he said after the game. "I thought I had just pulled it. I ran down to the other end, and that's when I just walked to the bench and said, 'I've got something wrong.'"

Granger had been playing with pain in his right knee for several weeks, and played just 11 minutes in the All-Star game to avoid making it worse. He also participated in the 3-point shootout during All-Star weekend.

Sit him

for the rest of the season. Even though it kills my fantasy team, its better for the Pacers. Sit Danny and Dun for the remainder of the season, start Roy and Rush for the remainder of the season, watch as we secure a top 10 pick.

Well, at least tickets will be easy to come by (as if they weren’t already).

No Don't sit him for the rest of the seasons

We still gotta kick Detroit’s ass for steeling the Pistons 51 years ago and turning all their fans into convicts.

Go Colts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good (as long as Granger will play when the Pistons come to town)

Now the Pacers can finally win when their supposed to win and lose when their supposed to lose.

Now lets bring on the draft so the Pacers can get someone like Ty Lawson.

And lets bring on free agency so the Pacers can get rid of Tinsley and make a huge splash in the free agent market in 2 years.

Go Colts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest Granger

Ensure that he is properly rested and healed. There is no need to hurry and bring him back for this season. Let the rookies play some quality minutes and show us what they can bring to the table that would benefit this team going into next season.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.
