The Pacers may have played their final game without All-Star forward DannyGranger, who returned to full practice Sunday and could be back in uniform Wednesday against Charlotte.
The Pacers were only missing one player, DannyGranger, who spent the second half on the bench after aggravating a left knee injury that kept him out of Indiana's first 54 games.
The Pacers still haven't played with former All-Star DannyGranger this season, though Vogel hopes to have him back on the court before the All-Star break and certainly before the next showdown between Indiana and Miami in March.
After struggling in the league his first two seasons, with character concerns causing doubts about his ability to succeed, Stephenson quieted critics when he stepped into a starting role after shooting guard DannyGranger went down with an injury this season.
