Pacers' C.J. Miles: Out Friday against Magic

Miles (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Magic.

Analysis:

Miles has been struggling with the sore left knee since the very start of the preseason, and the team's exhibition finale against the Bucks on Oct. 19 will be his lone opportunity to return before the start of the regular season. Miles' absence has allowed both Glenn Robinson and Georges Niang to see some extended run on the wing, and that should continue to be the case so long as Miles remains out.
