Dayton coach Archie Miller provided the latest update on Cunningham on Thursday, two days before the Flyers (16-5, 7-2) play Duquesne at UD Arena.
“He had a good individual (workout) yesterday,” Miller said. “I think he’s surprised at his own conditioning. He’s done a great job with his rehab. The biggest deal for us is to now put him around other people, whether that’s starting to move around in the non-contact phase or the contact phase. I think Josh feels 100 percent mentally and physically. As the next set of games approaches in the next two weeks, I think he’s going to start to get acclimated back into the team concept, which will be the next step.”

Cunningham said last week he was looking forward to playing with Pollard. The two haven’t been on the court together, except for a brief time during the preseason secret scrimmage against Marquette. Pollard missed the first six games this season.
Pollard said having Cunningham back would take a load off him.
“I wouldn’t have to play the center position the whole game,” Pollard said.
