C.J. Miles was sent home to rest by the Pacers training staff due to an illness, Mark Montieth of Pacers.com reports.

Miles missed Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons due to a bronchial infection, Mark Montieth of Pacers.com reports.

Analysis:

It sounds like Miles was trying to tough it out, but the Pacers would rather he rest up and get better. Miles should be over the illness within a few days, which should keep him on track to open the regular season as the Pacers' starting small forward.
