Dunleavy underwent a lower-back procedure Friday and is expected to miss 8-to-10 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Dunleavy had been dealing with back discomfort throughout the offseason, and according to Friday's report, the pain worsened in recent weeks. As such, Dunleavy underwent a "microdiscectomy" procedure after trying several more conservative remedies. Dunleavy's recovery will keep him sidelined throughout camp, and he projects to miss roughly the first month of the season. In his absence, Tony Snell and Nikola Mirotic figure to be the primary beneficiaries, from a playing time standpoint.
