Pacers' C.J. Miles: Practices again Monday

Miles (knee) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.

Analysis:

It was the second straight day Miles was able to fully participate in practice. While that would normally be encouraging for his status for Wednesday's opener against the Mavericks, Miles is still being characterized as "a ways away" from being fully recovered from the left knee issue that hampered him for most of the preseason. As such, Miles may only be asked to play limited minutes early in the season.
