Pacers' forward Danny Granger isn't worried about the two front teeth he shattered while going for a steal against the Celtics on Saturday night.

"I broke the one they put back and broke off my other tooth," Granger said after practicing with temporary front teeth on Monday. "I've been through it before, so I'll just have to go through it again.

"I hate being in the (dentist's) chair when they do all that, but I have to do it."

He claims he'll be fine for the team's game against the Suns on Wednesday.

"As professional athletes, we've bled throughout our careers," Granger said. "We've broken bones, torn ligaments, busted teeth. It's part of the game. It's kind of fun when you do it, and you actually win."

He refused to leave the game after the incident even with Indiana leading by 16 points in the fourth quarter.

"That one play epitomized what we want from our leaders -- toughness, refusing to get knocked out of the game because you've lost your choppers," Coach Jim O'Brien said. "That was just great."
