Mike Dunleavy Jr. is targeting a February return from his offseason back surgery.

Dunleavy will be paced through a controlled scrimmage with contact on Tuesday and will also travel with the team on their seven-game trip.

Dunleavy said his back feels "great."

This is roughly the same point in late November he reached before suffering a setback in his recovery. But Dunleavy said he's more confident this time.

"It's mostly conditioning, rhythm, timing," Dunleavy said. "I haven't played in a game since May. Overall, I feel really good."
