September 24, 2004
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The Golden State Warriors exercised the fourth-year contract option on forward Mike Dunleavy on Friday, keeping him with the team through the 2005-06 season.

Dunleavy, the Warriors' top draft pick in 2002 chosen No. 3 overall out of Duke, averaged 11.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 31.1 minutes per game last season.

``We're excited to know that we have Mike in the fold through the 2005-06 season,'' said Chris Mullin, the Warriors' vice president of basketball operations. ``We think he is a very special player and will be a key component of our team's future success.''

In 30 games when playing 35 or more minutes, Dunleavy averaged 16.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.13 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the field.

In his two seasons with the Warriors, Dunleavy has averaged 8.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 157 games.
