Danny Granger expects to play in preseason for Pacers
The Danny Granger question is one that will hang over the Indiana Pacers to start the season.Indiana was within one game of the NBA Finals last season with Granger in street clothes (he played just five games all season after a knee injury,[url=http://www.guccioutletstorei.com/]Gucci Outlet Online[/url], his second in two years). Granger was an All-Star and the team’s leading scorer, but now everyone wants to see if he can blend his game in with the emerging leaders Paul George and Roy Hibbert.To answer that question, first he has to get back on the court. Some preseason games could help with that transition, and in a wide-ranging Q&A with Dime Magazine Granger says he will be ready for some of those games (hat tip Eye on Basketball).Dime: Are you restricted at all in the stuff you can do, or are you full-on right now?DG: I'm still in the middle of my rehab. I'm in a six month rehab; I won't be six months out until October 5th…so I'm progressing to playing — I'm playing now, but I'm progressing on schedule and I'm still in the midst of my rehab.Dime: Do you think that October 5th date is within reach, and you'll be able to play in the preseason to get back into the flow?DG: Yeah. I anticipate playing in the preseason. I definitely do.The return of Granger is one of the things that will make the Pacers better. I lean that he is going to be able to blend his game in with the other stars — he will score less per game than he used to,[url=http://www.guccioutletstorei.com/]Gucci Outlet Store[/url], but he does give them a shot creator when the shot clock gets down to :05. He can start and Lance Stephenson — who was fantastic for Indiana last year — can come off the improved Pacers bench, or Granger can be a scoring spark sixth man. Either way works.If the fit isn’t there? Granger is a $14 million expiring contract the Pacers can move for something that does fit. They don’t need him to be a dangerous playoff team.But he would help.
