    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's back to the sideline for Indiana Pacers swingman Marquis Daniels. Daniels missed Sunday's game, and there's a possibility he could be out longer, after re-injuring his left knee in Friday's game against Toronto.

    "It's pretty much the same thing as before," Daniels said. "They said it was a good thing it happened. I busted up some of the old scar tissue that was in there. Hopefully I can play Tuesday (against Phoenix)."

    Daniels injured his knee when he dunked in the first half against the Raptors. He sat out the rest of the game.

    "I was so wide open that I had to (dunk the ball)," Daniels said. "I paid for it. That's why I hadn't dunked that hard before, because of the knee pains. As soon as I jumped I knew something was wrong."

    Daniels, the Pacers' best player off the bench, originally injured his knee late last month and missed seven straight games.

    An MRI on Daniels' knee didn't show any significant damage, but Pacers coach Rick Carlisle indicated he had no intention of rushing Daniels back into the lineup.</div>
