There were no major deals before Thursday trade deadline, but there was plenty of activity.
In the biggest news, the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers traded former All-Star forward Danny Granger to the 76ers for starting forward Evan Turner and backup forward Lavoy Allen. The Sixers also received a future second-round pick, according to ESPN.
Turner, 25, averaged 17.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in 54 games this season, all as a starter.

In other deals:

-- The Washington Wizards, pushing for their first playoff berth since 2008, acquired disgruntled point guard Andre Miller from the Denver Nuggets in a three-way trade that also involves the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Wizards gave up two seldom-used players - forward Jan Vesely (to the Nuggets) and point guard Eric Maynor (to the 76ers). Philadelphia receives two second-round draft picks, one from the Wizards in 2015 and one from the Nuggets in 2016. Washington receives a protected 2014 second-round pick from the 76ers.
-- The Atlanta Hawks acquired 37-year-old forward Antawn Jamison, a former Warrior, from the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers received the rights to shooting guard Cenk Akyol, a 2005 second-round pick now playing in Turkey.
-- The Charlotte Bobcats acquired guards Luke Ridnour and Gary Neal from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for guard Ramon Sessions and forward Jeff Adrien.
-- The Sacramento Kings made their fourth trade of the season, getting Roger Mason Jr. from the Miami Heat for a protected 2015 second-round draft pick and cash. Mason is expected to be waived.
Collins works out with Nets: Brooklyn general manager Billy King confirmed the team worked out center Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed.
Collins, a 35-year-old Stanford alum, revealed at the end of last season he is gay.
