Dunleavy (back) was recalled from the D-League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday, K.C Johnson of The Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

After logging a pair of practices with Santa Cruz, the veteran wing is now extremely close to making his 2015-2016 debut. A back issue has kept him on the sidelines for the whole season to this point, but Dunleavy is set to travel with the team to Denver for Friday's game against the Nuggets. It's unclear if Dunleavy will immediately be used in that contest, and any owners considering adding Dunleavy should be aware that the 35-year-old coming off a back injury and will likely face a conservative minutes restriction until he works himself into game shape.
