Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Pacers guard Mike Dunleavy is progressing very well in his recovery from knee surgery.

"Pacers' Mike Dunleavy has made "remarkable" recovery from knee surgery and source close to him says he could return "very early" in season," Wojnarowski wrote on his Twitter page.

The Pacers aren't expecting Dunleavy to return to the court until the second half of the season. He appeared in just 18 games last season.
