Danny Granger practiced with the team

08/01/2010 14:38:09

Pacers forward Danny Granger practiced with the team on Wednesday and Thursday without any pain.

Granger has missed the past month with an injured heel.

"I think I'm very, very close to playing," he said. "It's just a matter of everybody, the coaches and the training staff, all giving me the OK to go forward."

Indiana coach Jim O'Brien said that Granger won't play Friday at Minnesota or Saturday at Oklahoma City.

"He's out this weekend," O'Brien said. "He's not going to play this week. The step that he's at right now, he's practicing with the idea of getting him into game shape. It's different than running on the treadmill or in the pool. You've got to get out there and play 5-on-5."

Granger was averaging 24.4 points and 6.1 rebounds prior to the injury.
