OK so I thought it was a good idea to look for information about Danny's previous knee injuries so I went to google and I found a lot of information, some people believe that this is Danny's first knee problem but that is not true.
I think is important to know that Danny has been having knee issues for a while now.
Here are some of the articles I found on the web:
Note that some of the articles talk about his right knee and the knee he got treated this year was his left one, should that be good news? I don't know.

Granger has been playing on a sore knee all season, sitting out a game here and there, most recently last week against Milwaukee. (The Pacers are actually 3-1 without him.) In these past couple weeks, though, the knee is obviously bothering him more and more. Granger has looked slower and less explosive; even the Indy announcers have noticed his timing has been a bit off and he’s missed some plays he usually makes. In Tuesday night’s loss to the Wolves, Granger had a crunch-time finger roll blocked by Randy Foye, a play he would normally finish. He’s already been missing practices and shootarounds more often.

INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Granger dominated the NBA while hobbling through the final month of the season.
Now that his right knee and foot are almost fully healed, he expects to participate in the USA Basketball Men's National Team mini-camp July 22-25 in Las Vegas.
"I've been working it out, taking it slowly," Granger told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I've made great strides to the point where I think I'm going to probably play in the USA camp."
Granger played limited minutes in the All-Star game because of a right knee injury, then missed 11 games with a torn tendon in his right foot. He averaged 28.4 points the final 15 games of the season, but said he was far from ideal health at the time. He rested for six to eight weeks after the season ended, and has only been in the gym the past few weeks.
"I really wasn't 100 percent, which is why I had to take so much time off," he said. "When I do get to 100 percent, I'll be back in the groove fully."

"No chance. I'll hobble through that game if I have to," Granger said. "No way am I bagging that one."
Pacers Coach Jim O'Brien agreed with Granger's decision.
"I would second that. You don't make the all-star team every year," O'Brien said. "His knee is not an issue that him going out and playing a quarter and-a-half is going to go out and impact his knee." . . .

Another item buzzing around in my inbox this morning was word that Danny Granger tweaked his knee playing in Albuqurque this week.
Yikes!
Granger had his kids camp this week in New Mexico and supposedly dinged his knee while playing pick-up ball.
Scott Stiegler hosts a sports radio show on 770 KKOB in Albuqurque and the story began when Danny missed an appearance on his show Wednesday. I checked with Stiegler and he was kind enough to fill me in on some details.
Here's what Stiegler had to say:
Danny was scheduled to be in studio with me on Wednesday night. About an hour prior to the show his assistant, Chaz, called saying Danny wouldn't make it because he was at the doctor having his knee examined.
I went yesterday to record an interview at his camp. Danny told me he strained his MCL. He wasn't limping and didn't have any pain. He said Pacers doctors are aware of the injury.
First of all, I would love to have an assistant named, Chaz. How sweet would that be?
Seriously, though, the good news here is that a strained MCL at its worst requires rest and rehab so if Granger is not limping or feeling any pain then this may be the last we hear of the injury. The bad news is that these little drips and drabs of minor injury news in August is starting to drive me nuts

Apparently, the knee has been bothering him for a while, bad enough to cause him to miss workouts during the summer. He also says he’s been icing the knee during timeouts as of late. This might explain why his shooting has been off for quite a few games now.
