When the Indiana Pacers dealt forward Danny Granger to the Philadelphia 76ers to acquire swingman Evan Turner and promising young big man Lavoy Allen, Granger was expected to be bought out.
Several teams like the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs are expected to be interested in signing Granger, who expects to have his choice of contenders.
However, the 76ers haven’t made any decisions and could potentially hang on to Granger, although that isn’t likely.
Danny Granger is in Philly but not at arena and will not play vs. #Bucks tonight. 76ers coach Brett Brown said talks ongoing with Granger.
