Granger is dealing with a sore hamstring and was unable to come off the bench for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Granger was dealing with an illness towards the latter end of the preseason and recently picked up the hamstring injury which was unannounced prior to Wednesday's game. Although, he was technically listed as active and could have been called into action had coach Erik Spoelstra needed him off the bench. The 31-year-old's next opportunity to make his 2014-15 season debut will be Saturday against the 76ers.
