Indiana Pacers scoring leader Danny Granger returned Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls after sitting out a game because of personal reasons, while forward Mike Dunleavy missed the game because of food poisoning.

Granger, averaging 22.9 points, did not play Monday night in a loss at Dallas - the Pacers' fifth in six games - after scoring a season-high 36 points in a victory at Houston. Granger missed a month earlier this season because of a heel injury.

Dunleavy, meanwhile, came down with food poisoning Tuesday night. Coach Jim O'Brien hopes Dunleavy will be ready to play Thursday night against Milwaukee.
