Pacers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:46:36 PST

It took more than nine months, but Pacers swingman Mike Dunleavy is finally healthy and back in the lineup.

Dunleavy, who had played in only 18 games in the last 17 months, came off the bench to score 13 points in 16 minutes in the Pacers' 113-92 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

"It was great to get back out there in competition," Dunleavy said. "It was better to play and lose than not play at all."

Dunleavy, who had knee surgery in March, said the biggest obstacle he faces in his return is getting back in game shape and finding his rhythm again after being away for so long.

"I've got to work on some things, get my rhythm back and just get back into the daily routine.
