Granger is expected to return some time in mid-February, that's yet to change.

jschirn (24 posts)  1/2/2013 3:02 PM

Is it time to stash Danny Granger? He is progressing well, and targeting February...the injury might linger but....

mbuser (4316 posts)  1/2/2013 3:09 PM

Maybe? Lots of league and team factors involved here. I'm not expecting more than mid-round production from Granger, but even small potential for a pleasant surprise is worth noting. The deeper the league, the more sense it makes to starting looking at him. If you can carry dead weight for another 4-6 weeks..

MJ23Dream (22 posts)  1/2/2013 3:53 PM

Buse - if you have mwp, kawhi or asik to drop to get granger in a 12team 9cat league, would you do it and for whom?

tonika_zr (986 posts)  1/2/2013 4:36 PM

That would not be advisable to doo in any circumstances.

mbuser (4316 posts)  1/2/2013 5:01 PM

Looking at the projections should give you a good idea of my answer. Possibly Asik if you aren't punting FT%, but I'd pursue a trade to open up a roster spot before a straight drop.

jschirn (24 posts)  1/2/2013 5:28 PM

I am going to make the move, and drop Danny Green. In first place by a lot in my league, why not?

i did....gave up on kawhi.... 

dondada83 (3 posts)  1/10/2013 10:36 PM

I have Kawhi as well.  He did put up a decent line last night though...I'll give him one more game.

MJ23Dream (22 posts)  1/11/2013 3:45 PM

had him since season start..... him and pops inconsistent -)

ricecuker (16 posts)  1/16/2013 4:36 PM

Time to stash? Transaction trends have Granger top of the adds today...

mbuser (4316 posts)  1/16/2013 4:58 PM

It's because there was an update about him from Frank Vogel yesterday, although it stated that he's merely still on track for that end-of-January return. Whether you should stash depends on everything else.

tcschell (19 posts)  1/18/2013 11:27 AM

Shooting drills today.

https://twitter.com/MikeWellsNBA/statuses/292310402572902401

Maybe early February?

b1gdoublezero (21 posts)  2/8/2013 5:18 PM

Seriously, what the heck is up with this guy. Last decent update on him was that he was experiencing normal swelling in his knee after practice. For all the talk about getting him in before the break, it's been awfully quiet lately.

Is Granger going to pull a Bogut and just randomly start sometime or what?

mbuser (4316 posts)  2/8/2013 5:43 PM

I, for one, never believed the talk about him returning before the break. It made no sense to try to squeeze in a game or two before the layoff.

mbuser (4316 posts)  2/10/2013 4:13 PM

So, there does still appear to be a chance that he returns before the break, but logic says that the Pacers will wait. In any case, this is a good sign that he's ready to be active.

dasein (606 posts)  2/11/2013 5:35 AM

Well, if the Pacers are planning on trading the guy, they'll need to show what he's got. That could be a reason to squeeze out a couple extra games if he is indeed good to go. 

twilo28 (212 posts)  2/14/2013 10:31 PM

It looks like they didn't squeeze him.

twilo28 (212 posts)  2/14/2013 10:42 PM

Or he didn't get squeezed. Either way, there was no squeezing of Danny Granger going on.

Hailfire4 (510 posts)  2/15/2013 1:08 AM

Sounds like he had "flu like symptoms" or he would have played on Wednesday. Can only trust them.

twilo28 (212 posts)  2/18/2013 1:13 PM

I don't buy that, sorry.

Hailfire4 (510 posts)  2/18/2013 1:56 PM

Still we should know soon whether he plays or not. Plus what his role is. Plus if he gets traded. Lots of answers coming quick on Granger.

vnmslsrbms (65 posts)  2/18/2013 6:30 PM

I think Carlisle clarified that he would not have played even without the flu, so having some new issues or they want to play it even safer. All I know is if he returns later than Bynum I will not be happy.  Bogut already returned ahead of him.

mbuser (4316 posts)  2/18/2013 10:48 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Granger practiced today but Vogel was noncommittal on when he might return. "I don't want him coming back until he feels 100% ready."

Hailfire4 (510 posts)  2/23/2013 8:58 PM

Granger is back. Finally somebody actually returned. Not a great game 1-10 kinda sucked. Even Felton is better than that (some nights). Now if he can stay healthy he should become more productive and useable. Now Bynum, Rose, Love, Drummond, Bogut (again) are on the clock for league changing returns. Thad should/may/might/who knows return tomorrow helping his owners out even more.

luke2177 (9 posts)  3/4/2013 5:36 AM

Hi all. What to do with Granger? I've held onto him for about 3 or 4 weeks, but he's not delivering much (yet) since his return. Today's knee issue cannot be a good sign.  Should I drop, or should I hold?

tonika_zr (986 posts)  3/4/2013 11:37 AM

Should never add him in first place but that cant be undo so:yes,drop him and never add him again.

Hailfire4 (510 posts)  3/4/2013 11:49 AM

Until I hear the "Swelling" word I am holding Granger for a while longer. Sore is always better than pain. There should be an MRI soon that gives some real answers and not conjecture. Yes u should hold him unless there is a very good WW option or u are in a 10 team league.

mbuser (4316 posts)  3/4/2013 11:53 AM

I'm dumping him in the one h2h league where I'm holding him. Not looking good at all. If there is some soreness and concerns now, then it doesn't bode well for his ramping up minutes, plus the Pacers play six back-to-backs over the next month. I adjusted his minutes down.

tonika_zr (986 posts)  3/4/2013 12:09 PM

Yes, hold him HF, black whole to drag... any production from any scrub is better from that. Your choice how ever is wrong one.

jbs5635 (21 posts)  3/4/2013 1:48 PM

I agree, time to cut ties with him if you haven't done so.

vnmslsrbms (65 posts)  3/5/2013 9:29 AM

I dropped him when I remembered having zach Randolph last year and how he sucked.  And that was without him having as much trouble coming back. Seems like amare is the only one who can come back good immediately from knee problems.  Wall too I guess but he is often overrated in fantasy.

Saikyo (15 posts)  3/6/2013 2:04 AM

Unless you really need 3's and some scoring, he's probably not worth holding onto unless your league is very deep.

mbuser (4316 posts)  3/6/2013 11:46 AM

gary washburn ‏@GwashNBAGlobe
Danny Granger will miss the next week with knee soreness #pacers #celtics coach Frank Vogel referred to Granger's issue as "above-average soreness in his knee, so no new injury, no new damage."

And no new improvement, either. It's cutting time, no question.

b1gdoublezero (21 posts)  3/12/2013 2:50 PM

"Danny Granger (knee) will miss the Pacers' next three games and will be evaluated after that time."

Mike Wells ‏@MikeWellsNBA
Danny Granger (knee) has been cleared to resume activities. He won't play in the 4 games this week, but will practice this week.

mbuser (4316 posts)  3/28/2013 4:17 PM

Indiana PacersVerified account ‏@Pacers
BREAKING NEWS - http://on.nba.com/10hIggE  - Danny Granger will miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his left knee.

tcschell (19 posts)  3/28/2013 5:34 PM

Not surprised, but the strange thing is that the Indianapolis Star reported this morning that Granger was going to play tonight.  Hasn't been much clear info around Granger's injury.

mbuser (4316 posts)  3/28/2013 5:54 PM

"Granger, who has missed all but five games this season, is at the point where he’ll either help the Pacers, or the team will have to shut him down."
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013303270120

Agreed that it was strange. Perhaps he tried to work out this morning and had to cut it short because of pain.
