SAN ANTONIO – In the middle of responding to a question after Sunday morning shootaround, Dante Cunningham was briefly interrupted by a passerby, teammate Quincy Pondexter, who said, “Welcome back, Dante.”
Despite being ruled out 4-6 weeks after a broken leg he sustained Nov. 23 vs. Minnesota, Cunningham might be back in uniform tonight when New Orleans (9-19) faces San Antonio (21-5). The forward said he’s approaching his potential return with the mentality that he'll be available vs. the Spurs.
“I think I’m definitely in the mindset of getting ready to go tonight,” the eighth-year NBA veteran said.
