NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
The Indiana Pacers say All-Star Danny Granger will miss up to three weeks with a partial tendon tear in
the sole of his right foot.
An MRI Thursday revealed the tear.
The Pacers' leading scorer suffered the injury in the first half of Wednesday night's game at Charlotte.
Granger's also been playing with pain in his right knee for several
weeks.
He only played 11 minutes in the All-Star game to avoid making it worse.
San Antonio's Manu Ginobili will also be out of action for a while.
The Spurs announced the guard will miss 2-3 weeks with a stress reaction in his right ankle.
The injury was diagnosed after X-rays, an MRI and a CAT scan.
Ginobili is the Spurs' third-leading scorer, averaging 16.1 points off the bench.
The Argentinan missed the first 12 games of the season, following off-season surgery on his left ankle.
He was named the NBA's sixth man of the year last season.
