EDGE Analysis

Though established veterans like Dunleavy aren't commonly deployed in the D-League, the extensive time that the 35-year-old has missed while recovering from back surgery makes it worthwhile for him to test his abilities in a game environment before rejoining the Bulls. Dunleavy resumed taking full-contact practice earlier this week and could be back in action at some point in February.
