Mike Dunleavy, Jr. knows what is at stake in the last two weeks of the regular season. His team, the Indiana Pacers are clinging to dear life as it occupies the eight and final playoff seat in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers are currently up by just a game over the Charlotte Bobcats in the race for the said final playoff spot. Dunleavy has not played since he suffered a broken thumb in a game against the Washington Wizards last February 22. The former Duke University hotshot hopes to get back into action soon and help the Pacers nail down that elusive slot which will be Dunleavy’s first ever playoff appearance in his nine-year pro career. Dunleavy, 30, is currently posting norms of 11.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 2.5 apg in 54 outings so far with the Pacers. He says he is almost ready to return to action with the Pacers in this crucial stretch of the season, according to the Indianpolis Star.
“I'm about as good as I can be without having played. We'll see. Hopefully I can get some practice in and be ready to go.”
