NBA-National Basketball Association roundup
Oct 28 (The Sports Xchange) - Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger will miss approximately three weeks with a strained left calf.
The timetable for recovery is a precautionary measure as the team wants to make sure Granger is fully healthy after he missed all but five games last season with a knee injury.
Granger was injured during the Oct. 16 preseason loss to theDallas Mavericks. He has not practiced since then.
Coach Frank Vogel has said there is no correlation between the knee and calf injuries.

That probably will mark the end of Camby's playing career as he has been unable to make a satisfactory recovery from torn plantar fascia tissue. However, he may remain with the Rockets in a coaching or player development role, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Camby, 39, is likely to have foot surgery to repair the damage.
