It's back to the bench in street clothes for Indiana Pacers' guard Marquis Daniels.

Daniels will sit out tonight's game against the Toronto Raptors with a sore left knee.

Pacers' Coach Jim O'Brien said it's best that Daniels doesn't play in back-to-back games because of his knee. O'Brien would rather have Daniels for Saturday's home game against Utah.

Daniels, who has been dealing with a knee problem for almost a year, sat out Tuesday's game against Boston so that he could play against Washington on Wednesday.
