Pacers forward Mike Dunleavy, who is out for the season after playing just 18 games, could miss the start of training camp prior to the 2009-10 season.

It will all depend on whether or not he has surgery to repair a "giant bone spur" on his right patella tendon.

"A lot of it is dependent on how the surgery goes," Dunleavy said Monday. "We won't know until you get in there and all that. We'll do that and go from there. It'll be a lengthy recovery, so I'm prepared for that."
