Indiana Pacers forward C.J. Miles left Sunday's 105-102 victory over the Orlando Magic with a left calf injury, and did not sound optimistic after the game.
CJ Miles was walking around in the locker room, but said he couldn’t put much pressure on his left calf.

"It just came out of nowhere," Miles told reporters about the fourth quarter injury. "I just turned around to push off and I felt it pop a little bit."
Miles has cooled somewhat after a strong start to the season, but the versatile forward remains a key player for the Pacers, who sit in fifth place in the East after Sunday's action. The 11th year veteran is averaging just under 12 points per game on 34.5 percent 3-point shooting. He shot 6-of-8 from the floor in the Orlando win.
