Dunleavy Out For Season

[Pugz]

Pacers forward Mike Dunleavy will likely miss the remainder of the regular season with an ongoing knee problem.

"I think he's done for the year," coach Jim O'Brien said. "That's where I think he is. Whether he thinks he is or somebody else does, I'm proceeding as if he's going to be done for the rest of the year."

Dunleavy, who has only played in 18 games this season, hasn't appeared on the court in two weeks.

"He's looking at all his options," O'Brien said. "It's disappointing for him, and also something that's difficult for the franchise to deal with because he makes a lot of money, deservedly so, but you're operating on a situation where if you don't have somebody like that, that you're operating on less of a budget. That's a difficult situation."

Sucks for him, but the Knicks chances at the playoffs are that much better.
