The Indiana Pacers may be without All-Star F Danny Granger for the 2009-2010 NBA regular-season opener, Indianapolis Star Pacers writer Mike Wells is reporting.

Granger, the Pacers' leading scorer and an All-Star last season, is listed as doubtful for the Pacers' season opener at Atlanta Wednesday with a bruised right heel. Granger said Tuesday that he has been "dealing with the heel problem all preseason, then aggravated it in Friday's game vs. San Antonio at Indiana University," Wells writes.

Wells reports that Dahntay Jones will start in Granger's spot if the latter can't play.
