Indiana's top scorer will miss up to six weeks

The foot arch injury will not require surgery and Granger will begin rehabilitation immidiately, the team said in a statement.

Danny Granger, the top scorer for the Indiana Pacers, will miss at least four to six weeks with a torn right plantar fascia, the NBA club announced Tuesday.

The foot arch injury will not require surgery and Granger will begin rehabilitation immidiately, the team said in a statement.

Granger, who has scored 24.4 points a game for the Pacers, was injured in the third quarter of Saturday's 88-72 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Pacers are off to a 6-12 start, last in the Central division and fourth-worst in the Eastern Conference.

Indiana will return to action Wednesday against Portland, which was due to be the homecoming for state high school hoops hero Greg Oden before he suffered a season-ending knee injury last Saturday in a 90-89 victory over Houston.
