The Bucks (3-6) close a two-game home stand against Detroit (2-8) Thursday before heading back on the road to play Dallas on Friday and Philadelphia on Monday afternoon.

Milwaukee is still without Udrih, who has a strained left shoulder, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who is suffering from right knee tendinitis.

Dunleavy said his injury was "kind of a new thing for me." He said it didn't stem from a specific hit but "was a buildup and we just had to shut it down."

It didn't make for enjoyable viewing while Dunleavy watched his TV when the Bucks were on the road last week.

"It was tough," Dunleavy said. "Certainly we felt we could win a few games, for sure. Things change; guys get hurt. It's always tough to watch, whether you're winning or losing.
