Danny Granger Injury Update: Forward Sore, But Will Start Game 6 Vs. Miami Heat

While Danny Granger has reported to be sore entering Thursday night's Game 6, Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel has said that the forward will start Thursday and will log his normal game minutes according to FOX 59 Indianapolis sports reporter Jeremiah Johnson.

So far in the playoffs, Granger has averaged 17.2 points per game along with 5.8 rebounds per game and 2.3 assists per game. The Pacers will need some kind of an inside presence with Miami's Chris Bosh out with an injury and Udonis Haslem suspended in order to extend their season beyond Thursday.
