Hello Indiana fans,

I was wondering when Granger will come back from his strep throat. I have him on my fantasy league team. Will he be playing tonight?

Thank You

The Pacers beat writer for the Indy Star says he's a game-time decision.

What is your prediction? Does he usually play through things like this, illneses? Does he play it safe?

If anybody hears anything concrete, let me know.

My guess is that he sits out. The latest I've heard is strep throat which can be pretty contagious early on, so they'd want to keep him away from the team if he really is still sick and contagious.

I think he sits out. If he sits out tonight, they might even tell him to not travel to Boston.

Honestly, I can't believe how healthy he's been. Before the season, most of us would have us as a lock to make the playoffs if he was this healthy.

I don't think he's been 100% for the last 3 months. The fatigue from practicing through and traveling with Team USA does take its toll. You need most of the offseason to recover from 82 grueling games.

if we go on a win streak with him sick, does that change anyone's off season plans?

I agree totally.
I've seen it more than once.
I think he will be fine next year.

He's playing tonight.
