Danny Granger says he will not make debut Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger said he’s “literally day-to-day” with his return from an injured left calf, but today won’t be the day, he said after Thursday’s practice at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

“I don’t like where I’m at with my timing and my rhythm and obviously my conditioning,” he said. “I don’t think I will (play) Friday. I practiced today, a full-on practice, but I don’t feel like I’m ready yet. My rhythm isn’t there yet.”

Granger said he’s had no physical setback.
