The Indiana Pacers will shut down forward Danny Granger for the season in
order to have surgery on the left knee that has kept him off the court this
season for all but five games, according to the team. From the release:
"The decision was made after all conservative treatment options could not
alleviate the soreness Granger encountered. After consultation between
Granger, the Pacers' medical staff and Dr. James Andrews, surgery became the
preferred option.
Granger underwent a procedure in late October for patellar tendinosis. He
returned Feb. 25 and played five games before continued soreness in the knee
sidelined him. After further rehab did not ease the soreness, surgery was
decided on. He is expected to be ready for training camp."
The Pacers hoped to have Granger available to play in Dallas tonight but
obviously the knee pain flared up enough to scrap that effort. Granger has
one year remaining on his contract with the Pacers but now even that has to
remain questionable depending on the success of the surgery and how the knee
recovers.
The impact on the team this year won't be big since the Pacers have
essentially played without him all year. Now they are officially moving on
without Granger and all we can do is wish Danny the best of luck with the
surgery and hope to see him playing again in Pacers uniform next year.
原本預計對上小牛Granger能夠出賽，但是膝蓋卻仍然持續疼痛著，最後Granger決定
接受隊醫建議接受手術。
這個膝蓋手術預計會需要六個月左右的康復期，Granger有望趕上明年訓練營。
Granger本季以前出席率高達九成一，但本季卻因傷所苦，目前確定缺席剩餘賽事。
他的合約將在明年夏天到期。
心得：
溜馬隊要自己加油了。
以過去幾年來看，Granger離薪水小偷是還有段距離，但本季只上了五場比賽，現在又
面臨本季報銷，市場上的交易價值鐵定降低許多。
由於溜馬已經將特赦用在James Posey身上，因此Granger至少待到明年夏天的可能性
蠻高的，或許溜馬也可藉此機會壓低Granger的薪資，讓他做為George的替補。
