Pacers forward Danny Granger will attend, but will not participate in USA Basketball's minicamp this week in Las Vegas.

Granger is resting a sore right knee that bothered him throughout much of the 2008-09 season.

It would be nice to have one season with no injuries to our top players.

Dg's knee might be something that always flares up from time to time, but I'm glad he's got the upcoming season in mind.

if we hadn't been here before, Bender, JO, and Dunleavy. Cursed?

No, not cursed. Just too keen sometimes.

Smart of Danny to rest the knee rather than play in a meaningless game or tournament!

Honestly, it worries me a little. Why would he need to rest his knee in the dead of summer? Perhaps it is just a precaution, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't mildly concerned.
