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.
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.
