Pistons' Granger (knee) continues rehab in Arizona

There will be 19 players at the practice facility when the Detroit Pistons open training camp Tuesday.

But veteran small forward Danny Granger will be missing.

Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said today that Granger will be allowed to remain in Arizona to continue knee rehab.

Van Gundy said it was joint decision reached last week when Granger visited.

"I think it's better for him and for us if he stays right there in Arizona and does his rehab and when he gets to a point that he's ready to play and compete, then we will bring him in," Van Gundy said after the Pistons conducted a Basketball 101 presentation for the media.
